Swansea City 'closing in on Bersant Celina, Barrie McKay'

Swansea City are reportedly on course to complete the double signing of Bersant Celina and Barrie McKay before their Championship opener against Sheffield United next weekend.

Wales Online suggests that the two wingers have already undergone medicals and could finalise their moves in a matter of hours.

Celina is a Manchester City academy product who performed well on loan in the second tier with Ipswich Town last season, netting seven goals in 35 league games, while McKay found the net five times in 28 outings for Nottingham Forest in 2017-18.

The report suggests that the Swans will pay Man City an initial £3m, potentially rising to £4m, and the fee for McKay is expected to be closer to the £500,000 mark.

Swansea, relegated from the Premier League last season, have so far brought in Yan Dhanda, Joel Asoro and Jordi Govea this summer.
