Swansea City sign Josh Tymon, Kristian Pedersen, Bashir Humphreys and Jamal Lowe
- Published
Bashir Humphreys impressed during pre-season at Chelsea and made his second Blues appearance this week
Swansea City signed Josh Tymon, Kristian Pedersen, Bashir Humphreys and Jamal Lowe on a frantic deadline day.
Tymon, 24, joined for an undisclosed fee of about £2m from Stoke City while defender Pedersen, 29, arrived from Cologne on a two-year deal.
Centre-back Humphreys, 20, has signed on loan from Chelsea for the rest of the season despite interest from Stoke.
Lowe, 29, has rejoined Championship Swansea on loan from Premier League Bournemouth.
Swansea City chairman Andy Coleman told Radio Wales Sport: "I'm thrilled with the additions.
"It looks like it all comes down to the last few minutes but a tonne of hard work that goes into the eight weeks before that.
"It has been a phenomenal end to the window but that's just step one, results matter and now the team need to come together and make the city proud."
Left-wingback Tymon is a long-awaited replacement for Ryan Manning, who departed at the end of last season after failing to agree a new contract.
The former Hull City youngster has signed a three-year deal at the Swansea.com Stadium, with the option of a further 12 months.
Tymon has scored four goals in 122 games for Stoke - including four appearances this season - but has fallen down the pecking order in the Potteries following the summer arrival of Enda Stevens.
He has previously had loan spells at MK Dons and Famalicao.
Pedersen, who can play as a left-sided central defender or left-back, has been a target for Swansea for much of the summer, with the move eventually going through after Cologne agreed to release him having previously been looking for a significant fee.
It is understood the deal includes clauses which could mean Swansea have to pay something for Pedersen, depending on their success while he is at the club.
Kristian Pedersen made 14 appearances for Bundesliga side Cologne last season
The Danish international returns to the Championship having spent four years at Birmingham City, scoring nine goals in 161 appearances, before moving to Cologne last year.
He had previously played for Union Berlin.
Pedersen is likely to be in direct competition for game-time at Swansea with England Under-20 international Humphreys, another player who has been on the Welsh club's list of targets for much of the summer.
Humphreys started for Chelsea in their midweek Carabao Cup win over AFC Wimbledon having played 13 games for German second-tier side Paderborn during a loan spell in the second half of 2022-23.
Lowe, meanwhile, has opted for a return to Swansea having attracted attention from a number of Championship clubs.
Lowe scored 14 goals in 58 appearances in his previous, year-long spell at Swansea - when he helped the club reach the Championship play-off final - before moving to Bournemouth for around £1.5m in August 2021.
He had arrived from Wigan for about £800,000.
Lowe scored eight goals in 40 appearances for Bournemouth, where he was part of the squad which won promotion to the Premier League in 2021-22.
But the Jamaica international made only two top-flight appearances before spending the second half of last season on loan at Queens Park Rangers.
Lowe had initially been set to return to Swansea on loan until January, but has instead signed for the remainder of the season. His Bournemouth contract is due to expire at the end of this campaign.
Jamal Lowe began his professional career at Portsmouth in 2017 having previously played non-league football
Swansea forward Iwan Morgan, 17, has joined Premier League Brentford for what is understood to be a six-figure compensation fee having failed to agree a professional contract at Swansea.
The Swans say the fee received is the largest the club have ever received for a player not on professional terms, and that the agreement includes "significant" add-ons and a sell-on clause.
Morgan scored 28 goals for Swansea's under-18s last season.
Swansea centre-back Brandon Cooper, meanwhile, has joined Leyton Orient on loan until January, while young midfielder Liam Smith saw a loan move to Stockport County fall through.
Swansea could confirm the signing of DC United winger Kristian Fletcher, 18, on a short-term loan deal over the weekend, although he would be expected to join up with the club's under-21s rather than Michael Duff's senior squad.
Swansea showed some deadline-day interest in Leeds' teenage midfielder Darko Gyabi, though that deal did not come close to completion.
