Swansea City: Window shows owners ‘want to win’ – Alan Sheehan

Alan Sheehan says Swansea City’s owners have shown their ambition via the club’s work in the transfer market this summer.

Swansea spent more money in the transfer window which closed last week than in any other since relegation from the Premier League seven years ago.

There were 12 signings, with Adam Idah arriving in a deal worth an initial £6m on deadline day and the club also paying sizeable fees on Marko Stamenic, Zeidane Inoussa and Ethan Galbraith.

There have been other notable signings, such as Cameron Burgess and loan recruits Malick Yalcouye and Manuel Benson, meaning Swansea’s squad looks as well-balanced as it has at any point in recent memory.

Sheehan says Swansea’s hierarchy – led by American businessmen Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen – have proved they want the club to progress.

“These are conversations we had with Brett and Jason [and fellow director] George [Popstefanov],” Sheehan said.
