Swansea City complete signing of Ronald

Swansea City has completed the signing of Ronald from Gremio Anapolis for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance and visa approval.

The 22-year-old has put pen to paper on a contract through to the summer of 2027, which includes the option of an additional 12 months.

Ronald - who will wear the number 35 shirt - will add pace and athleticism to head coach Luke Williams’ options in the final third. He had been under contract with Gremio Anapolis until 2026.

The forward started his career with hometown club Corumbaense, making his senior debut at the age of just 17 in 2019.

A switch to Atletico Goianiense followed in 2021 before a loan to Gremio Anapolis which saw him help the club win the regional Campeonato Gaiano.

His performances saw the loan become a permanent transfer, and Ronald has since played for Guarani in his homeland before spending the last 18 months on loan with Portuguese club Estrela da Amadora.

Ronald helped them secure promotion to the Primeira Liga, and he has made 17 top-flight appearances so far this term.
