Swansea expect summer bids for striker Zan Vipotnik

Football

Swansea City are reportedly preparing for summer transfer interest in star forward Zan Vipotnik after his prolific Championship season.

Zan Vipotnik looks set to be a primary transfer storyline for Swansea City this summer. The 24-year-old Slovenian international has scored 25 goals in 48 club appearances during the 2025-26 campaign, per the BBC. Of those strikes, 23 have come in the Championship, making him the division's leading goalscorer.

Swansea recently moved to protect the forward's market value. Vipotnik signed a new long-term contract in March 2026, which ties him to the South Wales club until the summer of 2030, according to Wales Online. Head coach Vitor Matos stated that any potential suitors must offer "proper money" to secure the striker's services.

The club reportedly values Vipotnik at approximately £15m. Several Premier League sides, including Brighton & Hove Albion, Everton, and West Ham United, have monitored his progress this term, per TEAMtalk. Vipotnik joined the Swans on a free transfer in August 2024 following his departure from French club Bordeaux. Swansea currently sit 14th in the Championship table.
