Joel Asoro: Swansea City winger joins Genoa on season-long loan

Joel Asoro has started only four games for Swansea

Swansea City winger Joel Asoro has joined Serie A side Genoa on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old signed a four-year contract with the Championship side when he arrived from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee in 2018.

Asoro spent last season on loan at Dutch side Groningen, where he scored three times in 15 Eredivisie games.

The agreement with Genoa includes an option for the Italian club to make the deal permanent next summer.

Sweden Under-21 international Asoro has struggled to make an impact at Swansea, having made only 18 appearances - four of which were starts - for the Championship club.
