Swansea City on the verge of sealing £5.1m winger transfer | OneFootball

Hacken attacker Zeidane Inoussa looks set to make a big-money move to South Wales

Swansea City are set to land a stunning early summer transfer window coup with a deal agreed for Hacken winger Zeidane Inoussa.

The market doesn't officially open until June, yet deals can be pre-agreed by clubs who want to get ahead of their rivals when it comes to snapping up exciting talents.

And Swansea, who have recently just welcomed Real Madrid and Croatia midfielder Luka Modric on board as an investor, are wasting no time in backing new manager Alan Sheehan, who became the permanent successor to Luke Williams after a great run as interim boss.

Swansea City set to land £5m Zeidane Inoussa deal

According to reputed Swedish journalist Anel Avdic, Swansea City are close to adding a new winger to their ranks in the form of BK Hacken speedster Zeidane Inoussa.

Both clubs are in talks to bring the 22-year-old to the Swansea.com Stadium, and any deal would be worth 65 million Swedish kroner (£5.1 million), in what is certainly a statement of intent from the club's mainly American ownership group.

Inoussa only joined Hacken in 2024 from fellow Swedish side Brommapojkarna, but he had a solid first season, scoring six times in the Allsvenskan in 22 outings, with three assists added to that as well - he added three more goals and three assists in UEFA Champions League qualifiers too.

Primarily a left-winger whose strongest foot is his right, Inoussa, if the deal is done, will be expected to compete with Korean attacker Eom Ji-sung next season for a starting spot.

New Swansea City manager Alan Sheehan is certainly getting backed amid Zeidane Inoussa news

Swansea are already set to welcome midfielder Melker Widell to the club this summer after landing a January deal for the Aalborg man, before loaning him back to the club, and Kilmarnock striker Bobby Wales also looks to be joining too.

On the face of it, it looks as though Swansea are trying to get their deals done early, and that could be a smart strategy whilst many other Championship sides are still focusing on what division they may be playing in for the 2025-26 season.

Swansea's owners certainly seem serious about backing Sheehan ahead of next season and giving him the tools to push the club towards the play-offs, and Inoussa certainly looks like a potentially exciting addition to their ranks.
