Swansea's Bafetimbi Gomis close to completing transfer to Galatasaray with striker set to sign three-year deal

Swansea outcast Bafetimbi Gomis is closing in on a move to Turkish giants Galatasaray.

The clubs have been in talks since last month over a deal to take the 31-year-old to Turkey and sources in south Wales are confident it will be sealed.

Gomis has not played for Swansea since the end of the 2015-16 season, but they are holding out for a fee for the striker, who has one year remaining on his contract. Gomis is expected to sign a three-year deal.
