Leeds United-linked midfielder John Swift will be staying in the Championship next season after confirming his next move. Swift has penned a three-year deal with West Bromwich Albion with his contract at Reading set to come to an end this summer.
Throughout the season, Swift has been linked with a move to Leeds and several other Premier League clubs following a stand-out individual season in a poor Reading side. The likes of Brentford and Wolves had also been mentioned as possible destinations for the former Chelsea youth man, but it is the Baggies who have won the race for his signature.
Leeds confirmed their first signing of the summer on Thursday as attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson completed his switch from Red Bull Salzburg. Aaronson became Leeds’ first permanent midfield signing in over four years but the Whites aren’t likely to stop there as they look to recruit at least one more defensive minded player in that area of the pitch.
