Reports are coming through in Portugal that the Swans have secured the signature of Sporting Braga striker Eder for the sum of 7 million Euros.

Nothing official appears to have been reported as yet but a Tweet from a local journalist in the area states that the player has signed on a 3 year deal

The striker - who was part of the Portugal World Cup squad last summer - was first linked with a move to Swansea yesterday evening and certainly seems to fit the bill of the kind of striker that we would look to secure the services of.

And at the price that has been quoted he will fit into our budget and provide valuable competition alongside Bafetimbi Gomis up front to pretty much complete I would guess our summer spending spree.

It may also mean that the Swans stop being linked with every striker that becomes available this summer although of course we wait to see when the news becomes official before we put away our list of rumoured transfers for another season.

If true then welcome to Wales Eder, it is much like Portugal just nicer...
