Leyton Orient confirm Abdulai signing from Swansea

Azeem Abdulai made 31 appearances for Swansea City, scoring two goals

Leyton Orient have signed Azeem Abdulai from Swansea City for an undisclosed fee.

The versatile 22-year-old can play in central midfield, on the wing and at centre-back and has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at Brisbane Road.

BBC Sport Wales reported on Sunday a deal was due to be struck between the two clubs for Abdulai's transfer.

The Scotland under-21 international joined the Swans in 2021, having graduated from Celtic's academy.

Abdulai made 31 appearances for the South Wales club, scoring two goals.

"I'm buzzing to join Leyton Orient at what feels like a really exciting time for the football club," he told the Orient website.

"I want to take the next step in my career and I believe that this is the perfect place for me to do that."

Abdulai becomes Richie Wellens' second signing of the January window after Dilan Markanday moved to the club on loan from Blackburn Rovers last week.
