Swansea City saw off stiff competition from rival clubs to clinch the signing of Matty Sorinola from Union SG.
The 21-year-old will spend the duration of the upcoming campaign on loan at the Swansea.com Stadium in what looks to be a hugely encouraging piece of business for Russell Martin's men. Indeed, Sorinola knows the head coach only too well from their time at MK Dons having played both alongside and under the 36-year-old who became boss after initially starting as a player at Stadium MK.
And Sorinola - who also knows Harry Darling and Andy Fisher - says Martin's character was a huge influence in his decision to switch to SA1 amid interest from Huddersfield Town and others. “I know the style of play, I know what Russell wants as a manager, and I know what he is like as a person, which was a big thing for me," he said.
