Transfer Rumours: Swansea City’s Interest in Stoke City Midfielder?

01/07/2024 Raymond 0

Swansea City is reportedly one of three Championship clubs interested in acquiring Stoke City midfielder Josh Laurent. Laurent, who is in the final year of his contract with Stoke, is also drawing attention from clubs abroad. Despite the interest, it seems unlikely that Stoke will want to part ways with Laurent, given his importance to the team. Any potential move would depend on Laurent’s desire to leave, and there has been no indication that he is looking to transfer this summer, especially to another Championship club.

For Swansea, central midfield is an area that needs strengthening, although there are more urgent positions to address. While a midfield pairing of Matt Grimes and Jay Fulton lacks dynamism, and Joe Allen is expected to play a limited role due to fitness concerns, a move for Laurent seems improbable given his value to Stoke and Swansea’s constrained transfer budget. In conclusion, while the rumors of Swansea’s interest in Laurent are intriguing, they appear to be speculative at this stage. Only time will tell if any concrete developments will emerge.

In January 2022, Ogbeta signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Swansea City for a reported fee of £300,000. However, his time at Swansea was marred by hamstring issues, limiting him to just 53 minutes of play in his first half-season. It appeared he might leave the club that summer after reportedly being informed he was not part of manager Russell Martin’s first-team plans. Despite this setback, Ogbeta stayed at Swansea but struggled to break into the team.

Pundit Carlton Palmer has identified Notts County striker Macaulay Langstaff as a prime target for clubs such as Swansea City, Sunderland, Birmingham City, and Coventry City this transfer window. Langstaff’s impact since joining Notts from Gateshead in 2022 has been significant, scoring 41 goals in his debut season to propel the Magpies to promotion from the National League.

Despite initial doubts about his ability to perform in League Two, Langstaff continued to shine, finishing as the top scorer in the EFL with 28 league goals this season. His impressive form has not gone unnoticed, with interest reportedly coming from clubs like Birmingham, Sunderland, Peterborough United, Derby County, Wrexham, Hearts, and Coventry earlier in the year.

Leeds United and Southampton are set to explore different avenues in the transfer market this summer. Following their victory over Leeds in the Championship play-off final last month, Southampton now enjoys greater financial flexibility to bolster their squad for the Premier League. Leeds, conversely, must adopt a more strategic approach in their player acquisitions to adhere to financial regulations, though Paraag Marathe has assured that there will be funds available for new signings.

Last season, Wood made 26 appearances for Swansea and, at just 22 years old, has significant potential for growth. According to FBRef, Wood’s playing style is similar to that of Pascal Struijk. Fielding both defenders together next season could provide a solid foundation for Leeds to mount another promotion challenge.

Despite the initial optimism surrounding Sagoe Jr.’s move to Swansea at the end of January, the young winger has struggled to make an impact in the Championship. His playing time has been minimal, featuring only twice for the Swans, both appearances coming off the bench and totaling a mere 25 minutes of action. Despite initially making the matchday squad for his first five games with Swansea, Sagoe Jr. seems to have fallen out of favor, evident from his absence from the squad since the match against Sunderland on February 24th.
