There's been rumours of it all week but it seems Swansea WILL be signing Stockport's Ashley Williams before Thursday's loan transfer deadline.
The highly-rated defender made his Wales debut last night in the comfortable win in Luxembourg and was expected to head straight to Swansea for talks after landing at Cardiff Airport.
The chances of a move for the 23-year-old have been played down all week by Swansea, both manager Roberto Martinez and chairman Huw Jenkins distancing themselves from a deal to land some much-needed defensive cover.
But it is understood there is a strong possibility of a loan move being thrashed out to beat the midnight deadline - with a view to a permanent deal at the end of the season.
The composed, ball-playing centre-back has courted interest from various clubs all year but Stockport are reluctantly accepting Williams will now move on sooner rather than later.
And after having their fingers burned by going public over moves for centre backs before (Dean Leacock and Roger Johnson anyone?) perhaps Swansea are just staying schtum over the whole thing for fear it might not happen.
The only thing we do know for sure is to watch this space.
