​DONE DEAL: Swansea release Eder in loan deal with Lille

Swansea striker Eder has joined Lille on loan for the rest of the season.

The 28-year-old has started only two Barclays Premier League games and failed to score a single goal for Swansea since his £5m move from Portuguese club Sporting Braga last summer.

Eder was allowed to leave for Ligue 1Lille following Swansea's £8million purchase of Alberto Paloschi from Chievo last Friday.

"I am very happy to be here," Eder told the official Lille website.

"I have been extremely well received by the Lille representatives, I also liked the first contact had with the manager and with the technical staff.

"I can't wait now to meet my new team-mates and to train and to play in the LOSC shirt."
