Josh Tymon: Defender eyes Premier League return with Swansea City

After taking a little while to find his feet following a £2m move from Stoke, Tymon has enhanced his reputation at Swansea, establishing himself as one of the Championship’s best attacking left-backs.

Having racked up 41 appearances in his first Swansea season, he missed only one league game last term, against Watford, thanks to a suspension.

Tymon has been ever present so far in 2025-26, with head coach Alan Sheehan hailing the former England Under-20 international as “a player we know we can rely on”.

Tymon, who is set to keep his place at Southampton on Saturday (12:30 BST), says Swansea opened talks over a new contract in the summer and that he was immediately keen to extend his stay in Wales.

“There’s only one place I could see myself in the next few years developing my game,” he said.

“We just wanted to get it done as easily and as quickly as we could. I’m delighted.”
