Ricardo Santos, a 31-year-old Cape Verdean-Portuguese centre-back, has transferred to Sheffield Wednesday for a fee that was not disclosed. He joined Swansea City last summer from Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer. He had limited opportunities at the club, and his only appearance was against Bristol City while Darren O'Dea was the interim manager. Although he was close to moving to Reading in January, he stayed at Swansea, where he was later an unused substitute in two matches under current head coach Vitor Matos but did not play for him. Santos is the first player to leave Swansea during this transfer window. He joins a Sheffield Wednesday team that is aiming to rebuild for a return to the Championship. He has one cap for Cape Verde, and his market value is currently €350k, according to Transfermarkt.
