EFL Championship club, Swansea City have acquired the services of young Nigerian striker, Joel Asoro on a four-year deal.
Sunderland wrote on their official website on Saturday, wishing the youngster best of luck as he moves onto another stage of his young career, having entered the final twelve months of his contract with the Black Cats this summer.
Asoro, 19, joined Sunderland from Swedish club, IF Brommapojkarna and established himself with their first team from the youth ranks irrespective of his tender years.
