Swansea Close to Signing Moussa Yeo from RB Salzburg
Swansea City are nearing the acquisition of Moussa Yeo from Red Bull Salzburg. The 22-year-old winger is anticipated to undergo a medical examination at the Championship club as part of the process to secure a permanent transfer to the Swansea.com Stadium.
Yeo has previously worked under current Swansea head coach Vitor Matos during their time together at the Austrian club in 2024. Matos has expressed a desire to strengthen his options on the wings following the departures of loan players Manuel Benson, who left in January, and Gustavo Nunes.
In the 2025-26 season, Swansea's primary wide players Ronald and Eom Jisung scored four and two league goals respectively. Zeidane Inoussa, who joined Swansea last summer, missed a significant portion of his debut season due to a back injury but managed to score once in 29 appearances when fit.
Player Background and Performance
Moussa Yeo, originally from Mali and capped at Under-20 level, began his professional career with a loan spell at FC Liefering. He made his senior debut for RB Salzburg in an Austrian Bundesliga match against Hartberg in May 2024.
During his first full season with Salzburg's first team in 2024-25, Yeo scored six goals in 32 appearances. In the following season, he featured 30 times across all competitions and scored two goals. Notably, one of these goals was scored in a 3-2 Europa League defeat to Aston Villa in January.
Recent Club Developments
In addition to pursuing Yeo, Swansea have completed the signing of centre-back Stephen Welsh from Scottish club Celtic this summer.
