Swansea close to deal for winger Inoussa

Zeidane Inoussa has played for Sweden at various age-grade levels

Swansea City are close to agreeing a deal for BK Hacken winger Zeidane Inoussa.

The Championship club are expected to pay a sizeable fee for 22-year-old Inoussa, who is poised to become the first signing of the Alan Sheehan era.

A Sweden Under-21 international, Inoussa left his homeland to join Caen as a teenager and got his first taste of senior football with the French club.

He had loan spells with Real Murcia and Valencia's second-string side before returning to Sweden to play for Brommapojkarna in 2023.

Inoussa moved to Hacken last year and has since scored nine goals in 23 appearances.

He has been linked with a number of clubs including Celtic, but his move to Swansea could be confirmed early next week.

Asked about Inoussa after Swansea's draw with Oxford United on the final day of the Championship season, Swansea head coach Alan Sheehan said: "I can't really comment on that right now.

"He is a talented player. I think we are all in agreement across the board, the ownership, Richard [Montague, director of football] and myself - we know the areas we need to strengthen to add depth to the squad.

"It's a big window. We need to make a lot of right decisions."

Inoussa will be joined in Wales this summer by fellow countryman Melker Widell, who agreed a move in the last transfer window.

Swansea are also lining up a move for Kilmarnock striker Bobby Wales.
