Swansea City plotting double transfer swoop to kick-start Steve Cooper era

Swansea City are interested in Peterborough United attacker Siriki Dembélé.

The 22-year-old has emerged on the radar of the new Swans’ boss Steve Cooper, as per a report by Football Insider.

Dembélé only joined League One side Peterborough last summer but impressed last season for the Posh. He made 47 appearances in all competitions, chipping in with seven goals and seven assists.

The Ivory-Coast born winger started his career with spells at Dundee United, Ayr United and the Nike Football Academy before joining Grimsby Town in 2017.

Dembélé did well in his single season with the Mariners and signed for Peterborough a year later for an undisclosed fee.

Swansea are also keen on winger Ruben Lameiras from Plymouth Argyle, who is out-of-contract at the end of the month, as reported by The72 yesterday.

Lameiras, who is Portuguese, scored 12 goals and gained nine assists in 45 appearances for Plymouth this past season in League One. However, he is now set to leave the Home Park club following their relegation to the fourth tier.

He started his career at Tottenham Hotspur but was shipped out on loan to Swedish side Åtvidabergs FF in 2015.

Coventry City snapped Lameiras up on a free transfer soon after and he became a key player for the Sky Blues. He spent two seasons in League One at the Ricoh Arena but left after they were relegated to League Two to join Plymouth in 2017.

He has bagged a combined 18 goals in two seasons for Plymouth in the third tier and may get a crack at the Championship in the next campaign with Swansea.
