Birmingham City set to beat Swansea City in pursuit of sensational 22-year-old

Swansea City are ‘set to capture’ Werder Bremen left-back Lee Buchanan, reports Planet Swans.

Buchanan, 22, has recently been linked with a move back to England following his transfer from Derby County to Werder Bremen last year.

The left-back featured 21 times in the Bundesliga last time round but a recent report from Football Insider revealed that Championship duo Birmingham City and Swansea City were keen on signing the Englishman.

And now Planet Swans are reporting that Swansea City are set to sign Buchanan, adding to their already impressive summer transfer window.

Buchanan looks set to join the likes of Josh Key, Josh Ginnelly, and Jerry Yates in signing for Michael Duff’s new side this summer.

In three years with the Derby County first-team, Buchanan made 70 league appearances asserting himself as a very dynamic and energetic left-back, and his season in the German top flight will have only been beneficial to his development.

Halilovic spent half a season at Birmingham City under Aitor Karanka but opted not to remain at St Andrew’s after one goal in 17 appearances.

During his spell at Blues the gifted midfielder showed flashes of the quality that once saw him dubbed ‘the new Messi’, particularly after he left Dinamo Zagreb to sign for Barcelona.
