Swansea agree five-year deal for winger Inoussa

Zeidane Inoussa and Swedish side BK Hacken have reached a deal with Swansea City.

The Championship club has not disclosed the cost of the first Alan Sheehan signing, but it is regarded as “significant.”

“Getting our first signing this soon is great,” said manager Sheehan, and it’s important that we carry the momentum of this season into the next.

The 22-year-old will sign a five-year contract that will become effective on July 1st.

“I’m looking forward to working with Zeidane,” said the Swans’ recently upgraded permanent head coach.

Inoussa, a Sweden Under-21 international, moved to Caen as a teenager and began his senior football career with the French club.

Before making a loan move to Sweden to play for Brommapojkarna in 2023, he had loan deals with Real Murcia and Valencia’s second-string team.

Inoussa moved to Gothenburg-based club Hacken last year, where he has since scored nine goals in 23 games, and he has had connections to clubs like Celtic.

Richard Montague, the director of football at Swansea, said: “Zeidane gives us something different from what we’ve had this season. We hope he can turn away fans’ attention.

We’re pleased to have the deal closed so quickly, and we think it will help us get started in August.

Melker Widell, who previously agreed a move, will follow Inoussa and Melker Widell, who will also move to Wales this summer.
