Fans react as Conor Hourihane has agreed to join Swansea City on loan from Aston Villa

Aston Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane has agreed to join Swansea City on loan, according to reports from The Athletic.

Sky Sports are reporting that a loan fee and other terms were agreed between the two clubs on Tuesday.

A host of Championship clubs were interested in signing Hourihane this month.

Bournemouth – who are four points behind second-placed Swansea in the table – were interested in him, and even made a proposal to sign him permanently at the end of the season.

However, the Republic of Ireland international has opted to move to Swansea instead.
