Dobbie ended last season on loan with Blackpool

Swansea deny the clubs have agreed a fee, although BBC Radio Lancashire reports a bid has been accepted.

Dobbie scored six times in 10 games for Ian Holloway's side during a loan spell last season and featured in their play-off final defeat by West Ham in May.

Holloway was keen to take the Scottish striker back to Bloomfield Road after two loan spells with the Seasiders.

Speaking during pre-season, Dobbie said he hoped to force his way back into contention for a starting place at the Liberty Stadium under new boss Michael Laudrup, having fallen out of favour with his predecessor Brendan Rodgers.

Blackpool, who lost 2-1 to League Two side Morecambe in the first round of the Capital One Cup on Sunday, begin the new Championship season away at Millwall.
