Stephen Eustaquio quickly agreed to join Swansea City after Canada’s successful World Cup campaign, eager to assist the Welsh club in their quest for Premier League promotion under the guidance of familiar coach Vitor Matos. The 29-year-old midfielder signed a two-year deal with an additional season option, departing Portuguese giants Porto for this new challenge.

Expressing his excitement, Eustaquio stated, “It was an easy decision for me as I trust the environment here and look forward to the journey.” Swansea, finishing 11th in the Championship last season, faces a challenging path back to the top flight, a challenge that motivates Eustaquio. The Canadian international, born in Leamington, Ontario, but raised in Portugal, previously played for Chaves in Portugal and Cruz Azul in Mexico before his successful stint at Porto.

During his time at Porto, where he made over 150 appearances, Eustaquio also had a brief loan spell at Los Angeles FC earlier this year. With 61 caps for Canada and notable performances at the World Cup, including a crucial goal against South Africa, Eustaquio is set to bring his experience to the Swansea midfield, wearing the No. 46 shirt for the team. A potential debut against Derby County awaits him this weekend as Swansea aims to elevate its game in the Championship.
