It was at the weekend that reports surfaced in Portugal that the deal for Eder was nearing completion and after he came to South Wales for a medical the club finally were able to confirm the signature today for the player who joins Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Franck Tabanou and Andre Ayew as the main signings so far this summer to the Liberty.

Speaking via the official site after becoming a Jack, Eder said รขโ‚ฌล“I am very happy to have signed with Swansea. Itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs a big club and I believe I can progress as a footballer here,รขโ‚ฌย

รขโ‚ฌล“The Premier League will be a step up for me, but Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve played in the European competitions and also for my country so Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve experienced different levels of the game.

รขโ‚ฌล“Hopefully my team-mates will help me develop and settle in quickly at the club. I canรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt wait to meet all of them when I report for pre-season training.

รขโ‚ฌล“Swansea are a solid club who have big ambitions – last season confirmed that – and itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs great for me to be a part of it.รขโ‚ฌย

It’s now an official welcome to Swansea Eder.
