Swansea set to sign South Korea's Ki from Celtic
(Reuters) - Premier League side Swansea City have agreed a fee for Celtic's South Korea midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng.
The 23-year-old Ki, capped 47 times by his country, has been with the Scottish champions since 2010.

"We cultivate players then move them on. We feel it's good business."
Ki was one of South Korea's best performers as they won an Olympic bronze medal at the recent London Games.
