Inoussa may yet leave Swansea after squad omission

Vitor Matos says Zeidane Inoussa could leave Swansea City after the winger was omitted from the Welsh side's English Football League (EFL) squad list. Clubs can lodge a maximum of 25 senior players who can feature in the first half of the season, but Swansea opted to fill only 24 spaces in the squad submitted to the EFL following the summer transfer window.

Inoussa may yet leave Swansea after squad omission

Winger Zeidane Inoussa might leave Swansea City following his omission from the Welsh club's initial English Football League (EFL) squad list. The 24-year-old was considered for a loan move to Portsmouth on England's transfer deadline day, but it ultimately fell through. Swansea opted to fill only 24 of the 25 available spaces in their squad submitted to the EFL following the summer transfer window.

Head coach Huw Evans stated that with international transfer windows still open in countries like Greece, Portugal, Slovakia, and Saudi Arabia, Inoussa may yet depart. While Inoussa is under contract until 2030 with Swansea, he has struggled to make an impact in the Championship, scoring just once in 29 appearances last season due to a back injury.

With fierce competition for game time in the squad, Inoussa has not featured since January. Head coach Evans emphasized that Inoussa deserves respect and opportunity, and that the club will support him if he wishes to prove himself and regain fitness.
