Swansea City: Kyle Naughton signs new deal as Marc Guehi returns

Marc Guehi made 14 appearances for Swansea after joining on loan last season

Defender Kyle Naughton has signed a contract extension with Swansea City.

The 31-year-old was a free agent after his previous deal expired, but the former Sheffield United a Spurs player has signed a new one-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.

Chelsea centre-back Marc Guehi has returned to the Championship club on a season-long loan.

Guehi, 20, rejoins Swansea after a successful loan spell at the Liberty Stadium last season.

Steve Cooper's team have also signed Morgan Gibbs-White on loan.

Cooper will be delighted with all three deals, having made no secret of his desire to keep the versatile Naughton as well Guehi, who impressed in the latter stages of 2019-20 having arrived on loan in January.

Naughton, a £5m signing from Tottenham in 2015, has made 183 appearances Swansea to date and was one of their most consistent performers last season.

He is able to play at right-back, wing-back or in central defence, with his blend of versatility and experience making him an important figure for head coach Cooper.

Wolves' Gibbs-White, 20, is viewed as a replacement for Conor Gallagher, another player who impressed at Swansea after joining on loan from Chelsea last season.

Cooper's transfer business is not done, with Swansea still in the market for at least one forward and hoping to re-sign Liverpool's Rhian Brewster on loan.

The Liberty Stadium club are also keen on a deal for Wigan's Jamal Lowe.
