Sky Blues boss Chris Coleman has been chasing the Wales international all summer but had previously refused to meet Wolves' £1.5million asking price.

The 24-year-old is undergoing a medical on Friday before signing his contract and joining the squad on their pre-season tour of Switzerland on Monday.
Chairman Ray Ranson told the club's official website, www.ccfc.co.uk: 'Freddy has been a long-term target for us and we are delighted to have concluded everything.
'He fits the bill in terms of being a quality player at the right age. We believe he will be an exciting addition to the squad.'
Wolves CEO Jez Moxey added: 'Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the deal will be completed shortly and I would like to take this opportunity of sending him our best wishes for the future.'
