EFL Championship club, Swansea City have acquired the services of young Nigerian striker, Joel Asoro on a four-year deal.
 
Sunderland wrote on their official website on Saturday, wishing the youngster best of luck as he moves onto another stage of his young career, having entered the final twelve months of his contract with the Black Cats this summer.
 
Asoro, 19, joined Sunderland from Swedish club, IF Brommapojkarna and established himself with their first team from the youth ranks irrespective of his tender years.
 
He became the youngest player of Nigerian descent to play in the English Premier League when he came on in the 81st minute of Sunderland’s 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough on August 21 in 2016.
 
Last season, Asoro found the net three times in 26 Championship appearances while providing two assists.
