​Swansea complete deal for teenage Falkirk forward

Swansea have signed teenage striker Botti Biabi from Falkirk for an undisclosed fee.

The Scottish youth international made 31 appearances for Falkirk last season, including one from the bench in May's Scottish Cup final defeat to Inverness.

The 19-year-old, who will initially join up with Swansea's U21 squad, told the club's website: "I am excited to join because this is a big club.

"Obviously, Stephen and Jay arrived here from Falkirk, so that will help me settle into the club. I have spoken to them both, and they've made me feel very welcome.

"I've seen Jay play in big games for the first team in the Premier League and cup, and I would like to follow in their footsteps."
