Overview
- Swansea have signed Stephen Eustáquio on a two-year contract with an option for a third year and assigned him the number 46 shirt.
- The reported transfer structure features a base fee of about €4 million, add-ons that could raise the total to €5.65 million, and a 10% sell-on clause for Porto.
- Eustáquio is a 29-year-old Canadian international with 61 senior caps who captained Canada at the 2026 World Cup and made 157 appearances for Porto with 11 goals and 12 assists.
- The move answers a pressing squad need after Swansea lost midfielders Ethan Galbraith and Malick Yalcouye and should be eased by head coach Matos’s background in the Portuguese system.
- Negotiations reportedly moved quickly, with formalities completed in roughly 48 hours and the club suggesting Eustáquio could be available for the upcoming fixture, while the short-term deal lets Swansea assess his fit before committing long term.
