Swansea striker Lee Trundle has negotiated a potentially lucrative image-rights deal with League One club.

It is believed Trundle will become the first non-Premier$hite player to receive a percentage of all merchandising sold by the club that relates to his image.

Said the 29-year-old: "It's really exciting. The deal's going to be on the merchandise and I'm also looking at bringing out my own clothing range."

Sheffield Wednesday last week had a £750,000 bid rejected for Trundle.

But the club's top scorer with 11 goals this season denied his new contract was a result of Wednesday's interest.

"[My agent and I] have been talking to the club for ages about the deal and I would have stayed whatever the outcome," said Trundle.

Swansea signed Trundle on a free transfer from Wrexham in 2003 and the club are desperate to hold on to their talisman.

Said a club spokesman: "Most of the merchandising Swansea sell is linked to Trundle.

"It's a deal that is mutually beneficial to both parties. It's something that is unique to League One and following the interest from Sheffield Wednesday, we are very pleased."

Full details of Trundle's deal will be announced at a news conference at the club's Liberty Stadium on Thursday.

Well he might be a right t!t, but I bet he's done well for himself out of this..

That&#39;s not hard, to be fair....

He&#39;s done well, but I&#39;m surprised Swansea agreed to it. He&#39;s being a bit precious....
