Swansea close in on deal for Motherwell’s Just
Swansea City is pursuing a deal to acquire winger Elijah Just from Motherwell. The 26-year-old New Zealand international is expected to command a substantial transfer fee that would establish a new club record for the Scottish side. Just has gained prominence recently following his involvement in the World Cup, where he demonstrated his capability by scoring three goals across the All Whites' three group matches.
Just's career arc has taken him through Danish football before his 2025 arrival at Motherwell, where he made 43 appearances, netted seven goals, and earned a Premiership player-of-the-year nomination. The move would allow him to reconnect with Stephen Welsh, the Celtic loanee who recently joined Swansea, and partner with existing New Zealand international Marko Stamenic at the Welsh club.
