Downes Fee Agreed With Swans - Report - Ipswich Town News

Swansea City and Town are reported to have agreed a fee for midfielder Flynn Downes.

News of the Swans’ interest in Downes emerged last night and now, according to Football Insider, the Blues have accepted a bid.

The Welshmen appointed former MK Dons boss Russell Martin as their new manager earlier in the week with ex-Town first-team coach Matt Gill as his assistant.

Downes has been training with the U23s since the start of pre-season having made it known he wants to move on. However, he wasn’t involved in their 6-1 friendly defeat of Bury Town this morning.

As reported on Wednesday, AFC Bournemouth recently ended their significantly advanced interest in the 22-year-old, while Town turned down an offer from Peterborough earlier in the summer.

Last summer, Town rebuffed bids of £1.2 million and £1.6 million from Crystal Palace, however, they’re likely to have had to accept a lower offer.
