(THE GUARDIAN) - Daniel James is set to become Manchester United's first signing of the summer after Championship side Swansea accepted a fee that could rise to around £18 million (S$31.2 million) for the Wales international.
The 21-year-old is undergoing a medical check-up at United on Thursday (June 6), after Wales gave him permission to leave their training camp, with the winger poised to sign a long-term contract.
United's interest in James first surfaced towards the end of the season but the move was put on hold after the player's father, Kevan, died suddenly.
With James back in the international fold this week, after telling Ryan Giggs, the Wales manager, that he felt up to joining the squad, the wheels were set in motion for his transfer to go through.
It is understood that United will pay £15 million up front for James, who had 12 months remaining on his contract at Swansea, with the rest to follow in add-ons.
He will be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first signing, with the United manager looking to rebuild after a hugely disappointing end to the English Premier League campaign.
It has been a whirlwind 12 months for James, who joined Swansea from Hull in 2014, when he was an academy player. He burst onto the scene at Swansea under Graham Potter last season and quickly caught the eye with his extraordinary pace.

James was set to join Leeds on deadline day in January, in a loan that would become permanent if the Championship club won promotion, but Swansea pulled the plug at the last minute.
James was bitterly upset but he never dwelt on that disappointment and turned in some outstanding performances in the second half of the season, including scoring a remarkable individual goal during the 4-1 victory over Brentford in the FA Cup fifth round, when he covered 84 yards in 8.48 seconds.
A month later James marked his first competitive start for Wales with the only goal of the game against Slovakia and by that time it was clear that he was not going to be staying at Swansea beyond the end of the season.
His breathtaking speed wreaked havoc in the Championship, no more so than when Swansea, who eventually ended 10th, beat Stoke 3-1 in April. Two Stoke players were sent off for fouling James, who also scored with a brilliant curling shot.
City can reduce the gap back to a point with a win over Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, but Juergen Klopp's unbeaten side will now enjoy their Christmas dinner perched in first
