Swans confirm Ronald capture

Swansea City have confirmed the signing of Brazilian winger Ronald who has described the move as a “dream” following putting pen to paper on his permanent move.

The move, secured on a three year contract with an option for a further 12 months is subject to international clearance and a visa and he will wear the number 35 shirt for the Swans, once famously donned by Walter Boyd.

“I hope to bring moments of happiness, and help my teammates in all aspects of the game,” he told the club’s official You Tube channel.

“I am a winger, I am very fast and good in one-to-one situations. I like to score goals and make assists. I like to attack high up the field, and I hope I can create difficulties for my opponents.

“I am very happy that the club has shown faith in me. I am just focusing on being happy here and trying to help the team.

“I feel ready. I grew up as a man and as a player during my 18 months in Portugal, so I am more mature and prepared for the higher level that the Championship is.

“I hope I can adapt as quickly as possible so I can help the team soon.”

As has been said on these pages before none of us know much about this player but we can only hope that the scouting and recruitment is strong here and that the player repays the clear faith that we have shown in him.
