Spurs had been chasing Swansea academy graduate Rodon for some time and a last minute deal has been reached to beat the domestic transfer window deadline.

The Championship side are signing Wolves defender Ryan Bennett to replace the 22-year-old.

While the Premier League outfit won't receive a fee upfront for Bennett, the deal does include future add-ons.

Swans boss Steve Cooper has been very busy on transfer deadline day, having already completed the permanent signing of Manchester City defender Joel Latibeaudiere and a season-long loan deal for Bristol City midfielder Kasey Palmer.

 

QPR defender Ryan Manning is also expected to finalise a move to the south Wales outfit later tonight.

talkSPORT understands Rangers were left bemused at Manning's decision to join a Championship rival.

The Republic of Ireland international - who recently changed his agent - had rejected several contract offers from the club, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.

Manning - who also operates as a midfielder - was hoping to secure a move to the Premier League but there was little prospect of that ever happening despite various reports in the media indicating so.
