Rodgers closes in on new signing

Skysports.com understands Swansea are poised to sign Benfica goalkeeper Jose Moreira. Swansea have been searching for a new shot-stopper after seeing Dorus De Vries leave the club for Wolves last month. The Portugal international is understood to be in Wales to hold talks about making the move to the Liberty Stadium. Swansea have agreed an undisclosed fee with Benfica and they are hoping to conclude a deal for the 29-year-old this weekend. Moreira found himself third choice at Benfica last season and the summer signing of Artur has pushed him further down the pecking order at Estadio da Luz. Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed earlier this summer he was in the market for two new goalkeepers and it appears Moreira will be the first to arrive.
