Swansea City agree £6m fee for Liverpool's Shelvey
Liverpool fielded interest from newly-promoted Crystal Palace, together with West Ham and Norwich, but Swansea's bid was deemed acceptable.
Shelvey, who made his senior England debut in November's defeat in Sweden, only made 17 Premier League starts over his time at Anfield but is expected to seize the chance to move to the Welsh club, with the added incentive of Europa League football, to kickstart his top-flight career.
Swansea announced three signings on Tuesday, most notably the midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo from Real Betis for an undisclosed fee. The 21-year-old, who made 11 senior appearances for Betis last season, becomes Swansea's seventh Spanish player.
The 17-year-old goalkeeper Gregor Zabret and 19-year-old midfielder Alex Gogic also joined on Tuesday from the Slovenian side NK Domzale and the Greek club Olympiakos respectively.
