Swansea are waiting for Celtic to finalise the Idah deal, which is worth an initial £6m, while Samuels-Smith is heading to Wales barely a month after leaving Chelsea for Strasbourg. The Swans are also hoping to sign a winger today. There had been strong suggestions that Idah's arrival would see Vipotnik depart, but the Slovenia international is now expected to stay having just produced his best run of form since signing for Swansea in 2024. Ollie Cooper is likely to leave Swansea today, though, with the Wales midfielder tipped to join Wigan on loan. Bradford City have announced winger Adam Wilson has left the club by mutual consent. The 25-year-old joined the Bantams from Welsh club The New Saints in the summer of 2023.

The Hollywood-owned Welsh club have already spent more money than any other side in the second tier this summer and are now expected to pay in the region of £6. 5m for Sheaf.
