While rumours have been swirling, movement within Swansea was non-existent, and for almost all of the transfer window period, nothing happened. No-one left, and no-one arrived, then suddenly with just hours to go before the window shut they kicked into life, and the action began leaving fans and pundits alike caught off guard and slightly […]
Who is Lawrence Shankland? All you need to know about the Swans striking target
Swansea City are reportedly eyeing a January move for Ayr Utd’s Lawrence Shankland, as boss Graham Potter looks to guide a play-off push back on track by boosting the Swans’ strikeforce. Three consecutive league defeats have seen Swansea’s promising start to the season derailed and Potter’s men now lie 13th in the Championship ahead of […]
Werder Bremen Defender Robert Bauer on Swans Radar
Reports coming from Belgium today seem to suggest that the Swans are interested in 23 year old right back Robert Bauer from German Bundesliga outfit SV Werder Bremen. Whilst the player is understood to top Club Brugge’s wanted list, there appears to be competition from the Swans and fellow former Premier League teams Stoke and […]
January Transfer Window Spending – The Swansea Way
The weekend’s well earned victory, over a poor West Bromwich Albion team, brought joyous scenes to almost everyone inside the Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon and for the time being at least offered some hope for the relegation battle that lay ahead. A rare victory, inspired by captain Wilfried Bony’s thunderous 81st minute strike, prompted […]
Goodbye Fernando Llorente and hello again Wilfried Bony
Transfer deadline day was interesting for Swansea City fans this year. As expected, Spain striker Fernando Llorente decided to leave the Liberty Stadium but opted for Tottenham Hotspur over defending Premier League champions Chelsea – arguably one of the shock moves of the summer. But perhaps more interestingly from a Swansea perspective, Wilfried Bony is […]
New Swansea signings must rise to the occasion
Swansea City have been able to perform a strong rebuild towards the end of the transfer window, despite the loss of Gylfi Sigurdsson to Everton. The Icelandic midfielder was an integral part of the Swans’ push for survival last season, scoring a number of key goals, especially in the latter stages of the campaign. However, […]
Swansea continue to pursue PSV’s Santiago Arias
The transfer window slams shut on August 31, with Paul Clement looking to add at least two new faces before the international break. Swansea have already added Sam Clucas to their squad, with the midfielder joining from Hull for around £15m, and Santiago Arias is another name continually linked with a move to South Wales. […]
The Next Sigurdsson: Three Contenders
And so, finally, the inevitable has come to pass. Gylfi Sigurdsson, the man who almost single-handedly prevented Swansea from nosediving out of the Premier League, and the vast riches it now promises, has joined Everton for a £45m fee. In doing so, he arrives at a Goodison Park in the throes of an apparent revolution, […]
Time to say goodbye to Gylfi
With Gylfi Sigurðsson missing yet another of the Swans pre-season friendlies – the latest a 2 nil win at Championship side Birmingham City – surely it is time for the club to draw a line under the seemingly never ending transfer saga. Whilst there is much to be admired by the stance adopted thus far […]
Roque Mesa: Swans Set Their Sights
As is always inevitable during the torrid break in football that is the summer, the transfer rumour mill continues its perpetual merry-go-round for clubs up and down the land. One of the latest whispers in shells doing the circuit is that Premier League side Swansea have set their sights on Las Palmas star Roque Mesa. […]
