Swansea City wants to sign Motherwell's Elijah Just and is trying to convince the New Zealand international to move to the English Championship. Swansea head coach Vitor Matos has made signing the playmaker a top priority for the summer. The club has declared their interest to Just and his representatives and has increased its interest over the past 48 hours. Swansea is aware there is significant interest in the player and wants to complete a deal quickly. They will need to make a significant seven-figure bid for Motherwell to sell.

Elijah Just's agent, Gustaf Grauers, admits he is receiving interest from clubs across the globe in the 26-year-old. Grauers states that talks are underway with Motherwell officials over the next step for Elijah Just. The agent said they are still evaluating the different options available to the player. He stated that Just is back with Motherwell now and, as they have a lot of respect for the club, there are ongoing discussions to determine the most suitable course of action. Grauers said the World Cup generated further interest and they have had additional enquiries from clubs in a number of countries, which he described as natural after the tournament Just had. He added that at this stage their focus is on carefully assessing the opportunities rather than making a hasty decision. Grauers also said they will observe how things develop over the coming weeks.

90min reports that Elijah Just could potentially move to MLS clubs and that the left winger should be affordable for any interested MLS club.

Clubs in Ligue 1 have shown interest in Elijah Just. The player hopes his agent is busy amid this interest. Just performed well at the World Cup for New Zealand, scoring twice against Iran and once against Belgium, and there is competition to sign him.
