Swansea City have confirmed the signing of Borja Baston for £15.5m from Atletico Madrid, subject to international clearance.
Sky sources revealed the two clubs had agreed the deal on Tuesday, with the 23-year-old becoming Swansea’s record signing.
Baston is the second forward to arrive in the space of a week after Fernando Llorente joined on a two-year deal from Sevilla on Friday.
According to reports from A Bola, Swansea City are on the verge of sealing the signing of Nelson Oliveira from Benfica.
Swansea have already lost the services of Bafetimbi Gomis, Eder and Alberto Paloschi this summer and the future of star man Andre Ayew is currently hanging in the balance.
The mass exodus means that Swansea’s attacking lineup has been left extremely weakened and manager Francesco Guidolin will surely need to bring in a couple of strikers to the Liberty Stadium before the start of the Premier League campaign
According to reports from A Bola, Swansea have agreed a deal in principle with Benfica to sign Oliveira and the transfer will be concluded within the next few days.
Manchester United youngster Tyler Reid has joined Swansea City for an undisclosed fee, the club has confirmed.
The 18-year-old right-back has signed a three-year contract at the Liberty Stadium and has indicated that he believes his first-team opportunities will be greater with the Welsh club.
The Luton-born starlet was originally on Arsenal’s books, but made the move to Old Trafford in August 2012.
Reid was out of contract this summer at United, so the fee involved is effectively compensation due to his age.
He said: “I am really looking forward to a fresh challenge and getting started. I see a good opportunity to play first-team football with the Development squad here.
“I can’t wait to get started. I want to make my mark, secure a starting place for the Development squad, and help make an impact this season.”
Reid was on the scoresheet for United’s under-21 side in a 1-0 win over Sunderland last season. But he was restricted to just one start at that level and was more of a regular at under-18 level and for the club’s under-19 team in their Uefa Youth League campaign.
