Swans ready to strike and complete their first transfer this window ?
We first referenced Will Evans as being of interest to the Swans back in November, then it was a straight race between Swansea City and Huddersfield Town by all accounts. Today it seems possible Evans has voted to stay in Wales.
Evans can play at wing back or striker, and he has carried out both roles for Newport County since joining from Bala Town in 2022. His goal return isn’t remarkable, however seventeen goals in seventy seven appearances makes him a one in four goalscorer. His variety of roles played at Newport could go some way to explaining his lack of goals. He’s been deployed at wing back, left midfield, left wing and striker for the Exiles. However, it’s this season that Evans has shot to prominence, fifteen goals to date when in a more advanced role most certainly seems to be his preferred position ( striker or left winger )
You can’t argue with his prowess in front of goal even at Bala.
Some of those early goals are stunning.
Rumours are circulating that the Swans have won the race for his signature. The Welsh born product started life at Cardiff Met and the leap forwards to the championship is a risk. If the finer contractual detail is sorted today and tomorrow with the Exiles happy to accept in the region of five hundred thousand pounds with add ons we could see Will at Fairwood very shortly.
More later from the Indy.

Burnley 1 Swansea City 0 : Timid and listless Swans beaten at the death If anyone’s wants proof that shopping for players on low salaries in the Championship doesn’t pay off then it was evidenced today. Despite a very competent back four and keeper the rest of the team was sour and lacked any punch or awareness in controlling a football. Persistently caught offside or tripping over the ball, giving it away or relying on Myles Peart-Harris and a tired Ronald just wasn’t going to work.
Cabango wants to sign plus Burnley v Swansea pre matchSwansea City head coach, Luke Williams spoke about the game ahead at Turf Moor, Burnley on Sunday (3pm) This before the announcement that Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan were to leave the board along with Jake Silverstein.
Swansea City : A new investor to add to the picture ? People will be asking about any new investors at the Swans from today onwards. There will be investment and one of those could well be self confessed ‘Swansea City nut’ and one of the most talked about and successful businessmen in the United States.
Swansea City get 20 million investment : Levien & Kaplan go !The news of the departure of two men who have pretty much stalled the Swans progress since relegation from the Premier League has been met with delight by Swans fans. Andrew Coleman, who we reported a month ago as a part of discussions to overhaul the club has at last got his wish.
Swansea City : Can Peart-Harris maintain his form ? At twenty two years of age Myles Peart-Harris is one player who came to the Swans on loan from Brentford with an indifferent history as a professional player. He had merely stroked the starting handle of the pro game, the antithesis of success. He was finding it too hard at times to succeed in such a demanding business.
Swansea City show some steel & guts to get the win Swansea City moved into tenth place in the Championship last night with a very hard fought win over fifth place Watford in their Championship game at the Swansea.com. Myles Peart-Harris most certainly earned the plaudits in a tense second half. The Swans will remain in tenth spot even after the rest of the Championship fixtures are completed tonight.
