Swansea City’s transfer plans just took a hit as West Ham United recall their loanee, Kaelan Casey. With only three league starts under his belt at Swansea, West Ham is opting to send the young defender elsewhere for more playtime. Swans boss Matos acknowledged the decision, highlighting that Casey’s development and West Ham’s expectations were the main priorities.
Meanwhile, Swansea might face another setback with the potential departure of Ricardo Santos to Reading. While the deal isn’t confirmed yet, Santos has attracted interest after a limited stint at Swansea. If both Casey and Santos leave, Swans are ready to explore the transfer market for replacements. Matos remains confident, suggesting that Joel Ward could step in as a centre-half if needed.
No early returns for Filip Lissah from his loan so far, and loanees Ishe Samuels-Smith and Malick Yalcouye are staying put. However, the club is still working on a solution for Manuel Benson, who is looking to meet his expectations and Swans’ needs. Matos emphasized that any new signing must enhance the squad, underlining their commitment to strategic recruitment.
