Swansea City is thrilled to announce the signing of Leo Walta from IK Sirius on loan until the end of the season. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder will complete a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee on July 1, 2026, pending approval. Walta, who will don the number 21 shirt for the Swans, had an impressive 2025 Allsvenskan season, scoring 16 goals and providing three assists in 30 appearances. His addition is expected to bolster head coach Vitor Matos' attacking options. Walta has a total of 23 league goals in 59 appearances for Sirius and has represented Finland at the international level with 10 caps. Starting his career at HJK Helsinki, he also had trials with PSV Eindhoven and Bayern Munich before joining FC Nordsjælland at 16. After productive loan spells with HB Koge and Mjallby, he made a name for himself in Scandinavian football with Sirius. Vitor Matos expressed his excitement about Walta's creativity and versatility, highlighting how his skills will benefit the team. Adam Worth, the global head of analytics and recruitment, echoed this sentiment, noting Walta's goal threat and technical abilities that have been missing from the squad. As he transitions to Championship football, the club is eager to support his adaptation and integrate him into the team.
