Swansea City on deadline day : Afternoon update
For those who are happy to follow the ever changing day on the Indy here are the latest links today.
⚽️ First off nineteen year old Jacob Wright, he is completing his loan signing in Swansea from Man City. This could well turn into a permanent transfer but that relies upon the Swans not going down. We have always maintained that Wright was on the cards with every other outlet stating it was off.
⚽️ Lewis O’Brien, was rumoured to be in Swansea late last night, that didn’t happen but he is at Swansea today we are told. People who can’t handle someone who changes their mind shouldn’t be really reading up to date links. He had second thoughts last night because his wife is pregnant and wanted to think about relocating to Swansea at this time. As it stands, it seems he is ready to sign on loan from Nottingham Forest. He has been at Los Angeles FC again on loan but that has now changed. The Swans have outbid Blackburn, Preston and Derby.
⚽️ Bobby Clark, who is on the books of Red Bull Salzburg, they signed him from Liverpool for around ten million pounds in August with a seventeen and a half percent sell on fee. We are hearing he is of interest. But in no way can the Swans afford him.
⚽️ Alex Gilbert from Middlesbrough is off.
⚽️ There is also a link to Peterborough United player which we are working on.
The Swans currently have Myles Peart-Harris and Hannes Delcroix on loan so there is some wiggle room for loans in to be rubber stamped. But you really do need to see what game the Swans are playing. Only five allowed in a match day squad. It’s going to be a window of loans for sure.
That’s it for now, keep an eye on our deadline day updates below.

What to read next:
David Gray in Swans link : Tales of the unexpected ? ContextDespite reports from social media and another claim by Alan Nixon the new link to another man in the frame for the Swansea City job is carrying little weight at this moment in time. We have had a look into the news on this and despite the murmurings there’s little to point to current Hibernian manager, David Gray to the Swansea role.
Four points from six as the Swans battle hard for a point at Deepdale Scrappy it may have been at times but both sides put in maximum effort in this encounter beneath the lights in Preston. It won’t be remembered as the finest game of football, but you really do get the feeling this was a game the Swans would have lost before Luke Williams departure.
‘Let’s beat Swansea’ - That’s it ! Full pre match this morning Preston North End manager, Paul Heckingbottom is defiant in his comments that tonight’s game against Swansea City (7:45pm) is far more important than their forthcoming FA Cup tie against Aston Villa. It’s most certainly an attempt to take his players minds of that tie to concentrate on the league. And with so many glory hunters around their talk is most certainly aimed at the big game rather than tonight.
Swansea City : Sheehan dips his toe into the manager pool Alan Sheehan and his Swansea squad head north later today for a fixture against Preston North End (7:45pm) at Deepdale, Lancashire. And his mind seems to be occupied with not only the next four games before the international break, but potentially having conversations about the permanent manager role.
Swans are ready for Preston test : Bodde, James loans n’allThe Swans will be at Deepdale the home of Preston North End this coming Tuesday evening. The Lillywhites dumped Burnley out of the FA Cup yesterday to move into the Quarter Finals. The Swans will have had at least seven good days working with interim head coach, Alan Sheehan on the run up to this fixture.
Swansea City : The way it is going and what to do ?Swansea City are still searching for a new head coach, and as it always is another coaching unit to come along with that head coach. We take a look at the reality of this search and why there is no hurry, not only for the club but for anyone connected to the position.
