Medical Underway for Wood’s Southampton Move
Southampton is on the brink of bolstering their defence with Swansea City’s Nathan Wood undergoing a medical ahead of a £5 million transfer. The 22-year-old defender is poised to join the Saints as they gear up for their return to the Premier League.
Transfer Imminent as Saints Prepare for Premier League
Following their successful promotion campaign, Southampton is preparing to strengthen their squad with Wood’s signing expected to be officially announced within the week. The club has had their £5 million bid accepted and are now in the final stages of the acquisition process.
Wood’s Resilience Despite Injury
Despite a back injury that sidelined him for part of the last season, Wood has been a key player for Swansea, participating in 26 Championship matches when fit. His consistent performances have not gone unnoticed, with Southampton ready to bring him on board.
Swansea Cashing in on Wood
Wood’s original contract with Swansea was due to end this summer before the club opted to trigger a one-year extension. This move has now paved the way for them to profit from his sale, with Wood having made 158 career appearances and featuring 72 times for the Swans since his arrival in 2022.
Reunion with Russell Martin
While Wood has yet to play in the Premier League, he will be reuniting with Southampton manager Russell Martin, who previously signed him for Swansea. This existing relationship could prove beneficial as Wood transitions to life at a new club and league.
Summer Exits from Swansea
Wood is not the only player set to leave Swansea this summer. Jerry Yates is expected to join Derby County on loan for the upcoming season, with a medical already underway yesterday, marking a period of change at The Swansea.com Stadium.
