Swansea City supporters in the Transfer Tavern are mindful of their team’s dismal defensive record last season.
In the context of the troubles that the Swans endured last season, the issue of an unsecured defence was rather minute while considering the looming threat of relegation.
Paul Clement performed heroically to steer his side away from the pits of demotion to finishing 15th in the Premier League.
While there was much cause for celebration, attention has since turned to ensuring that Swansea isn’t in the same position this forthcoming campaign.
The only team who managed to concede more goals than the Welsh side were relegated Hull City.
If the Swans are to retain their Premier League status for the seventh successive season, they must augment the defensive options that the former Bayern Munich coach has at his disposal.
Accordingly, our landlord has highlighted TWO players that Swansea should target this window…..
Kevin Wimmer
The 24-year-old is reportedly keen to depart Spurs this summer.
The former FC Köln centre-half has been used sporadically over the duration of the past two seasons, only registering a total of 29 appearances for the North London side.
Despite this lack of involvement, he is unquestionably talented.
His concentration is exemplary, and he flaunts a terrific blocking ability, he’s extremely comfortable in possession and isn’t afraid to play with the ball at his feet.
Andy Yiadom
The former Barnet defender excelled during his first term with the Tykes last season, and our landlord believes he exhibits the adequate qualities to play in the Premier League.
The Ghanaian can operate as full-back on either side of the pitch, and he was arguably Barnsley’s best player last season.
His dribbling ability is faultless, and his presence would provide Kyle Naughton and Martin Olsson with healthy competition.
Swansea fans, do you agree? Let us know!
