Swansea City & Gwangju FC agree a one million pound fee
We have learned earlier this morning that Gwangju FC have agreed to sell Eom Ji-sung (put the Eom where you want in his name) to Swansea City. After a week of negotiations and the player very keen to move to west Wales and Championship football it seems the transfer will be announced in the coming week.
We keep our fingers crossed on that one after the Gautier Ott deal.
There will of course be add ons especially if the Swans sell on Eom. We now know he has been withdrawn from the Gwangju squad for tomorrow nights fixture against Jeju United. It’s a timely report as midnight today see’s the end of declarations for finances (profit and sustainability) tomorrow, July 1st means any business runs over to 2026.
The twenty two year old winger is a celebrity character in South Korea and his arrival in Wales will elevate that interest considerably as it did when the Swans signed Ki Sung-yueng in 2012.
We have reported this on numerous occasions and warned that the Swans won’t be declaring any transfers until after June 30th. We also expect Jerry Yates to be confirmed as a loan player to Derby County in what we have been told was ‘immense interest’ from a number of clubs wanting his services. The financial balancing act continues. Nathan Tjoe-A-On, remains of interest to Oxford United and any expected movement, if agreed, will also come later this week.
You can expect the transfer game to get rolling from tomorrow morning, especially at Swansea City, and we have been told, don’t be surprised if another striker leaves this summer.
That is the latest on Eom this morning.

Jerry Yates loan away from Swansea gets closer Swansea City striker, Jerry Yates, considered a no brainer of a signing last summer seems to be on the verge of leaving the Swans for the whole of next season. With numerous clubs chasing him a deal it seems is close to being agreed.
It’s a delight to watch the Euros, Jack Butty style !The Butty is back, the bad anchor of waters that are deeper than your bath, and places where Captain Nemo doesn’t dare to go. The man who wrote 20,000 leagues under the sea before the pyramid system was even thought of fears this man. Nobody dares venture near this salt ridden, shell encrusted fool.
Swansea City new signing, and yes there are more to come Gautier Ott seems only days away from signing a three year deal with Swansea City after some intense work by Sporting Director, Paul Watson and Head Of Recruitment Martin Hodge. The twenty two year old has provisionally agreed terms on his contract with Swansea having to negotiate the rest of the finer print with his club, Académico de Viseu. They will then bring the young French player to west Wales.
