Kristoffer Peterson made only four league starts for Swansea

Swansea City winger Kristoffer Peterson has joined Fortuna Dusseldorf for around £400,000 plus add-ons.

Peterson, 25, made only 12 Swansea appearances - scoring once - after joining from Heracles for £500,000 rising to £1m in August 2019.

The Sweden international spent the second half of 2019-20 on loan at former club Utrecht.

Petersen featured only once for Swansea in 2020-21, in the EFL Cup defeat by Newport County.

Head coach Steve Cooper brought Peterson to Wales having previously worked with him in the Liverpool academy, but the once-capped player has made little impact at Liberty Stadium.

Even so, Cooper revealed after Saturday's win over Millwall that Peterson had been part of his squad for that game and said he was told to leave him out by chief executive Julian Winter.

Fortuna Dusseldorf are in the German second tier, and are managed by former Manchester City striker Uwe Rosler.
