It comes after head coach Williams stated he wanted to bolster his attacking options prior to Friday’s 23:00 BST transfer deadline.

“I’m not going to expect anything but I’m hopeful,” said Williams.

“I think we could probably still do with one or two players to strengthen the squad.

This was also the first draw between the teams since 2020 and a relatively tame affair by derby standards – until tempers boiled over in added time.

Cardiff manager Bulut was sent off for refusing to hand the ball back and arguing with Swansea’s players, before Oliver Langford handed out four yellow cards.

The tone was set during a first half where Swansea, in sharp contrast to their flat-footed start at Boro, flew out of the blocks on this occasion.

Wingers Ronald and Eom Ji-sung played starring roles, both full of tricks and running at their opponents at every opportunity.

That has allowed Vipotnik, 22, to secure a switch to the Swans on a free transfer.
