Swansea Transfers: 5 Signings To Get Into The Europa League

5. Islam Slimani

Age: 27 Club: Sporting Lisbon Nationality: Algerian Estimated Market Transfer Value: £8-12million League Apps (2014/15): 21 Linked with the Swans earlier in the transfer window, Algerian international Slimani could help address the lack of firepower at the Liberty Stadium. Scoring 15 in 33 appearances during the 2014/2015 season, Slimani€™s second season in European football was certainly a success. Standing at 6ft 2inches, Slimani would also bring the physical presence that the Swans need up top with their preference of having a lone striker. Slimani has also scored 15 goals for his country in just 33 appearances. Though he has only two seasons on his CV in Europe, the two he has had have been very impressive. I think he could be worth the gamble.
