The Swans have completed the signing of Red Bull Salzburg winger Moussa Yeo, the club’s second addition of the summer window.
The 22-year-old has agreed a four-year contract at the Swansea.com Stadium, with the option of a further 12 months, for an undisclosed fee.
Yeo follows defender Stephen Welsh through the door, after the Swans landed the centre-back from Celtic earlier in the window.
The Mali-born forward links back up with Swansea head coach Vitor Matos, who worked with him during a spell as assistant boss at Salzburg in 2024.
Yeo said that time together had helped him progress, developing his game both as a striker and out wide, and predicted things would be “even better” in Wales.
Matos said the winger would bring “creativity, energy and versatility”, describing him as a player with good game understanding who can fill more than one role.
The head coach said Yeo had already been exposed to a high level of football and backed him to adapt to the physicality and intensity of the Championship.
Yeo joined Salzburg in 2022 and spent time on loan at feeder club FC Liefering before making his Austrian Bundesliga debut in May 2024.
He scored six goals in 32 appearances during his first full season in the first team in 2024-25.
Last season he featured 30 times across all competitions, including in the Champions League and Europa League.
One of his two goals came in a 3-2 Europa League defeat to eventual winners Aston Villa in January.
Yeo said playing in Europe’s top competitions, against sides such as Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen, had been among the biggest moments of his career so far.
His arrival is aimed at bolstering Matos’ options on the flanks, following the departures of loan players Manuel Benson and Gustavo Nunes.
Yeo joins the likes of Ronald, Eom Jisung and Zeidane Inoussa as frontline options, with Cameron Congreve and Florian Bianchini also back from loan spells.
The signing comes as the Swans confirmed the departure of Northern Ireland midfielder Ethan Galbraith to Stoke City for what the club called a “significant” fee.
Matos said Yeo would help the Swans “take a next step” in an area of the pitch they had been keen to strengthen.
