Swansea City complete deal for PSV striker Joel Piroe

Swansea City has completed the signing of Dutch striker Joel Piroe from PSV Eindhoven for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

The 21-year-old becomes Swansea’s second acquisition of the summer transfer window, with the club having already added Wigan striker Kyle Joseph to the first-team squad.

Piroe has put pen to paper on a three-year deal in SA1.

The Holland Under-20 international joined PSV’s academy from Feyenoord in 2014 and has gained regular experience in the Eredivisie over the last two campaigns.

He spent the 2019-20 season on loan with Sparta Rotterdam, scoring two goals in 18 appearances; having netted 11 goals in 29 appearances for Jong PSV in the Eerste Division the previous campaign.

Piroe made 12 first-team appearances for PSV last term, scoring three goals, including a brace in a Europa League win over Omonia Nicosia.

He has been capped by his country at under-15, under-16, under-18, under-19 and under-20 level.

Piroe will meet up with his new team-mates following their pre-season camp in Pennyhill Park next week, with the Dutchman following Covid-19 guidelines by spending a period in isolation ahead of his arrival in Swansea.
