Swansea City to seal deadline day swoop for West Brom striker Karlan Grant

Swansea City have made a late move to sign West Brom's Karlan Grant on transfer deadline day.

The Swans have been desperate to bolster their forward options and are set to make the frontman their first signing of the January window with just hours of deadline day remaining.

It comes after Michael Obafemi secured a move to Championship leaders Burnley on Sunday, although Morgan Whittaker is set to remain at the club following fierce transfer interest from Rangers.

Nevertheless, Martin wanted to bolster his striker options before Tuesday's 11pm deadline, and after failing with moves for Chiedozie Ogbene and Joe Gelhardt among others, they identified Grant as an option.

He is now set to spend the rest of the season on loan in south Wales. Grant was a regular under previous boss Steve Bruce but has found game time harder to come by under Carlos Corberan of late.

Grant has netted five times in 25 outings in all competitions for the Baggies so far this term.
