Swansea City could let 2022 signing leave before the end of the window
Swansea City could let Nathanael Ogbeta leave again following his loan spell at Peterborough United last season, as detailed in a report by the Peterborough Telegraph.
Swansea City loaned the left-back to the Posh in January to get some game time under his belt in League One.
Ogbeta, 22, went on to make 20 appearances for Darren Ferguson’s side in all competitions and helped them reach the play-offs before heading back to his parent club when his deal expired.
The Peterborough Telegraph suggest that he ‘may’ be allowed to head out the exit door for a second time following the Swans’ decision to sign Nathan Tjoe-A-On in his position earlier this week.
Swansea could let player depart
Ogbeta enjoyed plenty of minutes with Peterborough during the second-half of the last campaign and would be a useful addition for a club in the third tier before the end of the transfer window. The deadline is on Friday 1st September meaning time is running out for teams to conclude any final bits of business following the start of the new season.
The Salford-born man started his career at Manchester City and rose up through the academy ranks of the current Premier League champions before heading into the Football League for the first time when Shrewsbury Town came calling in 2019.
He was a hit with the Shrews during his two years at New Meadow and landed a switch to the Championship when Swansea snapped him up.
Ogbeta has since played three games for the Swans and hasn’t been able to break into their first-team. Another exit isn’t beyond the realms of possibility over the next couple of weeks but whether Peterborough are keen to bring him back for another stint remains to be seen at this stage.
MICHAEL DUFF SET TO HAVE SAME SQUAD TO CHOOSE FROM AGAINST COVENTRY CITY
Michael Duff has no new injury concerns for Swansea City’s Championship clash with Coventry City this weekend.
The Swans head coach confirmed Nathan Wood picked up a knock in the defeat at West Bromwich Albion, but has trained all week and is fit to be involved.
However, he explained that new signing Nathan Tjoe-A-On will need to build up fitness following his move from Excelsior.
“There are no new injury concerns. Woody took a knock the other day but he has trained all week,” said Duff.
“So, in terms of people available, then it is the same again.
“Nathan (Tjoe-A-On) seems a nice kid, he is quite quiet but he is hungry, that is why we wanted him.
“He is not here for a payday, he is athletically good. He is raw in certain moments, but he has a thirst to learn.
“He has played no minutes in pre-season so we have to build him up. We will have to integrate and get him fit on the job, but it’s a body in the building and he is left-footed, which is what we wanted.”
