Swansea City have 24 hours of the summer transfer window remaining, with several loose ends still to tie up before Tuesday night's deadline. At least two incomings are in the pipeline, and their arrivals are likely to have a knock-on effect on players already at the club.
Iorpenda and Monga set to arrive
The club are hoping to complete a move for Huddersfield Town midfielder Tom Iorpenda before the deadline, in a deal believed to be worth around £1m. The 21-year-old is unlikely to come in as a first-team regular and is instead viewed as a player for the future. He is set to be confirmed as a Swansea player well before Tuesday's deadline and could even be unveiled later on Monday.
His arrival further increases the midfield options available to Vitor Matos, who was keen to add depth there for much of the summer after losing Ethan Galbraith and Malick Yalcouye. Elijah Just and Stephen Eustaqiuo have also come in, and that wealth of options is likely to be one of the reasons Leo Walta looks set to be moved on. A loan move to Los Angeles FC appears to be on the cards for the Finn, who has seen just six minutes of league action so far this season, with the deal thought to contain an option to buy.
Out-wide options and defensive links
Out wide was another area Matos was keen to strengthen, and despite the captures of Moussa Yeo and Joseph Opoku, he has still looked for further options in the final throes of the window. Highly-rated 17-year-old Jeremy Monga is poised to come in on a season-long loan, which will inevitably spark further questions around the futures of Zeidane Inoussa and Florian Bianchini. The club will listen to offers for both of them.
Ronald has also been linked with a move away, but is clearly higher up the pecking order at present. Even so, it would not be a surprise to see at least one of them move on.
Elsewhere, there had previously been a suggestion the club might look to add another centre-back, despite recently completing a loan move for Sunderland's Jenson Seelt. Strasbourg's Soumaila Coulibaly was a figure of interest, but that deal now looks unlikely to materialise, and it remains to be seen whether Swansea will move on to another target before the close.
Vipotnik likely to stay
Strasbourg are one of several sides to have shown an interest in Swansea striker Zan Vipotnik. The Slovenian's future has been the subject of speculation for most of the summer, with Hull City launching a £10m bid earlier this month. That offer was knocked back by the Swans, whose valuation is understood to be closer to £20m. So far, no team has shown a willingness to go near that figure.
There is still time for things to change, but sources have indicated that Vipotnik is now highly likely to stay. Given the arrival of Ross Stewart on a free transfer and the presence of Adam Idah, that would leave Matos spoiled for options up front.
