Swansea City are poised to complete the loan signing of Armstrong Oko-Flex from West Ham United.
The versatile attacker - who can also operate at wing-back - arrived at the club's Fairwood training complex on Tuesday morning to undergo a medical with a view to joining the Swans on loan for the duration of the 2022/23 campaign.
The impending arrival of Oko-Flex comes fewer than 24 hours after Swansea signed Luke Cundle on a season-long loan deal from Wolves.

And both new signings are set to be included in the matchday squad for the Swans' Championship clash with Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium on Wednesday night.
"Luke is one we‘ve watched for a while," said Martin. "Speaking to a couple of people we know at Wolves, they all speak really highly of him. He had a great record in the under-23s last season and made his debut for Wolves in the Premier League. He’s an excellent footballer.
"It'll be his first experience of playing week-in week-out in the Championship so that’s never easy. I think he’ll bring us some creativity and confidence on the pitch. We’re looking forward to seeing what he can bring.
"It’ll be up to him to try to make his mark and get into the team as quickly as he can. He’s another young player so we won’t expect too much too soon but he gives us flexibility as well."
And on Oko-Flex, Martin commented: "We also have Armstrong Oko-Flex in the building, he’s currently doing his medical. He’s someone completely different to anything we’ve got in the building.
"He's a wide player who really likes to get at people. Fortunately for us, we’ve had people at both clubs who have recognised there might be an opportunity here for young players, because our situation financially hasn’t changed.
"We’re really lucky that, because of our style of play, the opportunities young players get here are probably more than most places, so we’re really fortunate that people at both clubs [Wolves and West Ham] recognise this is a good place for both young players to play."
In addition to the two new recruits, Swansea will also have Jamie Paterson in their squad for the fixture at Stoke. The attacker has not featured since the 3-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers due to a groin issue.
However, he is set to be involved against the Potters on Wednesday night. "Apart from Ben Cabango being suspended and Lats [Joel Latibeaudiere] obviously out, we’ve got everyone fit," said Martin. "Pato is back in the squad which is brilliant news for us. All is looking well."
