Renascença say Éder signed a 3-year deal for Swansea. If he plays like he did for Portugal vs. Italy in recent friendly, he'll do well.

The striker – who was part of the Portugal World Cup squad last summer – was first linked with a move to Swansea yesterday evening and certainly seems to fit the bill of the kind of striker that we would look to secure the services of.
And at the price that has been quoted he will fit into our budget and provide valuable competition alongside Bafetimbi Gomis up front to pretty much complete I would guess our summer spending spree.
It may also mean that the Swans stop being linked with every striker that becomes available this summer although of course we wait to see when the news becomes official before we put away our list of rumoured transfers for another season.
If true then welcome to Wales Eder, it is much like Portugal just nicer…
Braga's Eder confirmed to Swansea. Same sort of build as Michu, same sort of potential, rangy, difficult to mark but blows hot and cold.

That last RT better not be true. Eder is bloody useless.
