Swansea City transfer headlines as 'incredible fee' claim made over deal, Paterson gets stick and Britton pulls on boots

These are your Swansea City headlines on Friday, February 4.

Shrewsbury Town boss Steve Cotterill says they received an "incredible fee" from Swansea City for Nathanael Ogbeta.
