Everton, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Leeds, Brentford, and West Ham have conducted detailed checks on Swansea City striker Žan Vipotnik, who is the Championship's top scorer with 22 goals. The 24-year-old Slovenian forward has 24 caps and 5 goals for his country. Additionally, Brighton have scouted him extensively, while Sporting CP are also monitoring him. According to reports, some scouts have nicknamed Vipotnik the “new Viktor Gyokeres”. Although he recently signed a new long-term contract with Swansea, it is understood this was primarily to protect his transfer value. In April 2026, reports suggested a potential sale would require a fee between £15m and £20m, while his current Transfermarkt market value is €15.00m. Swansea City's asking price was repeatedly set at £15m between January and March 2026, after the player originally joined on a free transfer from Bordeaux in August 2024.
