Swansea confirm striker signing and identify new midfield target after transfer blow | OneFootball

Swansea City have confirmed the signing of striker Ross Stewart on a free transfer.

The Scotland international has signed a three-year deal at the club following his departure from Southampton.

“Ross is an experienced and proven performer in the Championship, and we are delighted to have him as part of what we are trying to build here at Swansea City,” boss Vitor Matos said.

“In our conversations he has made clear his hunger and desire to be an important senior figure and leader in our dressing room.

“His goalscoring record shows he is someone who relishes responsibility and we look forward to getting down to work with him and settling him into the group.”

However, Andre Almeida is believed to be reluctant to join Swansea from Valencia.

The Swans had agreed a £5.2m deal for the midfielder but the deal now looks to be off, barring a change of mind from the 26-year-old.

Ousseynou Fall Seck of Rangers is another midfield target for the club, however, as Matos looks to bolster his squad in the middle of the pitch.
