Championship side Swansea City fell short of promotion once again last season and, after another frustrating mid-table finish, were active in the transfer market in preparation for a renewed play-off push in 2025-26.
The Swans were let down by their form at the start of the calendar year last season. The team won just one of their nine matches from January 1st onwards - a run which cost Luke Williams his job.
Alan Sheehan was able to restore order, losing just three of his first 13 matches. The head coach also oversaw a run of five straight wins in April - one which saw the club climb a few spots in the table, but not quite enough for a playoff push.
Much of their investment over the summer was directed towards strengthening the attack, with £5million spent to secure the services of winger Zeidane Inoussa from Swedish outfit BK Hacken.
The forward scored 11 goals last season, and with Swansea managing only 51 across 46 league matches – the second-lowest total among the top 12 sides – supporters are eager to see a more dynamic presence at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Sheehan, who was appointed on a permanent basis after stepping up as caretaker, has further bolstered his frontline with the arrival of young striker Bobby Wales from Scottish club Kilmarnock for a compensation fee of £300,000, while Adam Idah made a late move from Celtic.
Attention also turned to the midfield, where a gap was left following the retirement of Joe Allen, and the club have finalised deals for Ethan Galbraith and Marko Stamenic.
The big overhaul of talent failed to bear fruit on the opening weekend of the season, with Swansea enduring a 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.
However, the Swans have immediately bounced back from that defeat, winning four and drawing one of their following five matches across all competitions.
