It appears that the Swans are set to sign midfielder Melker Widell from Danish club AAB for a fee of around €3m but there is a significant caveat to the deal.
The Swedish playmaker was first linked with the club yesterday before a bid was confirmed later in the afternoon for the highly rated 22 year old.
And it is now being reported that Swansea City have indeed won the race for his signature but in order to get the deal over the line it will mean the player will return to AAB on loan for the rest of the season.
The length of the season in Denmark (including play-offs) means that Widell will arrive for pre season training ready for the start of the 25/26 campaign, whichever division that might be for us.
So whilst it isn’t an immediate help for the Swans with Matt Grimes all but confirmed as a Coventry City player and additions in desperate need, it is something to look forward to come the summer.
So what that means is that Andy Coleman will need to secure deals to get the club over the line for the remainder of the season and a central midfielder will be as high a priority as any.
With just a few days left of the window, the latest link is to former Liverpool man Bobby Clark on a loan deal from RB Salzburg.
