Swansea City winger Cameron Congreve is set to join Belgian top-flight side Westerlo for a seven-figure fee after impressing on loan at Dundee last season. The 22-year-old Wales international, who came through Swansea’s academy, will leave the Championship club having made 19 senior appearances.
The move ends a spell in which Congreve had been viewed as a possible option for Swansea’s first team in 2026-27, but the club has now sanctioned his exit. Westerlo finished ninth in the Belgian top flight last season, and the deal will include add-ons and a sell-on clause.
Swansea will also have the option to match any bid from another club if Westerlo decide to sell Congreve in future. He joined Swansea at under-nine level and made three league starts among his 19 senior appearances for the Welsh club.
How did Congreve’s loan spells shape this move?
Congreve’s performances in loan spells at Dundee and Bromley helped raise his profile. He scored three goals in 36 games for Dundee after scoring six times in 47 appearances during a loan spell at Bromley in 2024-25.
His form at Dundee also earned him his first senior international caps, which came in the June friendlies against Ghana and Romania. Swansea sold another Welsh international, Liam Cullen, to Leicester City on Friday.
What does this mean for Swansea?
It is another change to Swansea’s squad as the club continues to manage departures and incoming value from player sales. Congreve leaves after progressing through the academy and reaching the senior side, while Swansea have already completed the sale of Liam Cullen to Leicester City.
Westerlo’s interest gives Congreve the chance to continue his career in Belgium after establishing himself during loan spells in Scotland and England. The transfer is expected to be completed for a seven-figure fee, with add-ons and a sell-on clause forming part of the agreement.
