Swansea City Secure Impressive Win with Elijah Just's Debut Goal
Swansea City's new signing, Elijah Just, made an instant impact on the pitch, scoring a late goal in his debut against Udinese. The Welsh club won the friendly tie 2-0, and the New Zealand international's performance has already sparked excitement among fans.
What Happened?
Elijah Just, who completed his move to Swansea City on Wednesday for a reported £5million fee, came off the bench at half-time and netted a late goal against Udinese. The 26-year-old attacker was heavily linked with a switch to Celtic throughout the summer transfer window after an impressive Scottish Premiership campaign.
Why it Matters for Swansea City
The transfer signing has already made an impact, and Celtic may be regretting missing out on the New Zealand international. Just's impressive debut performance has given Swansea City a boost, and the team's fans are eager to see more of the new signing.
What Comes Next?
Swansea City's next match is yet to be announced, but the team is expected to continue their pre-season preparations. With Elijah Just on board, the team's attacking options have been strengthened, and fans are optimistic about the upcoming season.
As the 2025-26 campaign drew to a close, Just looked like an ideal Celtic signing. The winger netted seven times and picked up seven assists in the Scottish Premiership, and helped Motherwell qualify for Europe. With Celtic in need of attacking reinforcements, Just seemed like a natural signing. However, as with every recent transfer window, the Hoops were slow to get going, and eventually missed out on the New Zealand international to Swansea.
