Nouble set for Swans switch

16 September 2010 18:00
Swansea are poised to sign Frank Nouble on a three-month emergency loan deal from West Ham. The 18-year-old striker arrives at the Liberty Stadium to boost the club's depleted attacking options with Craig Beattie and Gorka Pintado sidelined through injury. Swans boss Brendan Rodgers was able to negotiate the deal after Shefki Kuqi's loan switch to Derby provided space in his squad and the necessary funds within the club`s wage bill. Nouble, a former Chelsea youngster who worked with Rodgers during his time at Stamford Bridge, is set to go into the Swans squad for Saturday`s clash against Scunthorpe. The England Under-19 international signed for the Hammers last summer and enjoyed loan spells in the Championship with West Brom and in League One with Swindon over the second half of last season.
