Swansea City have completed the signing of Swedish winger Zeidane Inoussa from BK Häcken in a deal worth €6 million, securing the 22-year-old on a five-year contract that runs until June 2030.
The Championship side made the announcement on Monday, confirming the long-term investment in a player they believe can revitalize their attacking options.
Known for his pace, agility, and sharp dribbling, Inoussa is expected to add creativity and flair on the flanks as the Swans push to re-establish themselves among England’s elite.
The transfer marks one of Swansea’s most substantial moves in recent windows, highlighting the club’s faith in Inoussa’s potential and future value.
Despite limited international exposure at senior level, the winger has made his presence felt in Swedish football and now looks set to test himself in the more physically demanding environment of English football.
Born in Sweden and having represented the nation at youth level, Inoussa is also eligible to represent Benin through his family heritage.
While he has yet to receive a senior international cap, his Beninese origin has generated excitement among followers of the West African nation’s national team, the Cheetahs.
A switch in international allegiance could remain a possibility, especially if his performances attract attention from the Benin Football Federation.
His dual-nationality profile adds a compelling layer to his story and opens up more than one path at international level, depending on how his club career develops in Wales.
Inoussa began his professional career with Uppsala-based IK Sirius before moving to France, where he spent time with Caen and later had loan spells with Real Murcia and Valencia B in Spain.
His recent stint with BK Häcken, however, was where he truly began to deliver consistently, impressing scouts with his energy and work rate on the left wing.
At Häcken, he contributed with goals and assists that helped the club maintain a strong domestic presence. His performances caught the attention of Swansea’s recruitment team, who acted quickly to finalise the move ahead of potential competition from other European clubs.
Inoussa’s arrival signals Swansea’s intent to build a youthful and dynamic squad as they seek to return to the Premier League.
With five years on his contract, the club is clearly planning long-term with the Swedish-born forward, hoping his development will mirror the successes of other Scandinavian imports who have flourished in British football.
In a brief statement following the announcement, Inoussa expressed his enthusiasm for the challenge ahead. “I’m excited to be here,” he said. “It’s a big opportunity for me to grow and help the team achieve its goals. I can’t wait to get started.”
While he will need time to adapt to the Championship’s intensity, Swansea supporters will be eager to see how quickly the winger can make an impact. Whether bursting past defenders or supplying key assists, much will be expected of the young forward in the coming months.
For now, both Sweden and Benin will watch closely as Inoussa begins the next chapter of his career in South Wales, with the potential to become both a club star and an international asset.
