Ethan Galbraith Transfer from Swansea City to Stoke City
Swansea City have confirmed the departure of Ethan Galbraith after the midfielder completed his move to Stoke City. According to WalesOnline, the deal is worth more than £10million. In a statement, Swansea City wrote that Ethan Galbraith has completed a move to Stoke City for a significant undisclosed fee, subject to the relevant approval. Galbraith said that he had a chat with Jon Walters, Stuart Harvey and the Manager at Stoke City, and the ambition of the club and how the manager wants players to go about their job appealed to him. He also said there was a real commitment from the club to get him and to show him that they really wanted him. Galbraith's exit follows the collapse of talks over a new Swansea contract. WalesOnline understands Galbraith's representatives rejected the club's opening offer, feeling it did not sufficiently reflect his importance to the first team, and an agreement was not reached in subsequent negotiations. With Galbraith entering the final two years of his contract, with the club holding the option of a further 12 months, Swansea opted to sell him rather than risk seeing his value diminish. Swansea had signed Galbraith for £1.6million plus add-ons from Leyton Orient the previous summer before selling him for a fee exceeding £10million one year later.
