Swansea City are poised to sign Celtic defender Stephen Welsh, who will bring a new skillset to the team. The 26-year-old has enjoyed two loan spells at Motherwell, making 29 appearances and helping the team finish fourth.
What happened?
Welsh has since left Celtic by mutual consent and is now set to link up with Swansea City. He will add cover to the heart of City's defence, which already includes Cameron Burgess and Ben Cabango.
Why it matters for Swansea City
The signing of Welsh will bring a new dimension to the team, with the defender able to play on the left or right side. He is also strong in the air and calm on the ball, making him a valuable addition to the Swans' defence.
What comes next?
Welsh is expected to be confirmed as a Swansea City player by the end of the week, with the formalities of the move currently being ironed out. He will be looking to make an impact in the new season and help the team achieve their goals.
