Swansea City have signed Sunderland defender Jensen Seelt on loan for the remainder of the season. The Dutch centre-back, 23, has played 21 times for Sunderland since joining the Black Cats from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 and spent the first half of last season on loan at Bundesliga club Wolfsburg. Seelt's arrival comes despite the fact that Swansea have been boosted by news that Ben Cabango's heel injury is not serious.
Club captain Cabango limped off during the draw with Sheffield United last weekend but could yet feature when Vitor Matos' team go to Derby County on Saturday. Seert will join Cabango, Stephen Welsh and Filip Lissah as central defensive options for Matos, though Swansea could yet move for another centre-back before next Tuesday's transfer deadline. They have lost Cameron Burgess, who played every minute of the 2025-26 Championship campaign, to an Achilles injury which is likely to rule him out until next season.
Lissah, meanwhile, is primarily viewed by Matos as one of his right-back options alongside Josh Key. Latest Swansea City news, analysis and fan views Listen to the latest Swansea City interviews, news and discussion on BBC Sounds Seelt played twice in the Premier League in the early stages of last season having featured only once in Sunderland's promotion 2024-25 campaign, thanks in part to a serious knee injury. He again had knee problems during his spell at Wolfsburg, with his most recent appearance coming in December 2025.
"Jenson is a talented young player, and he will provide us with valuable depth in our defensive options," said Swansea head coach Vitor Matos. "He brings physicality and aerial dominance, but also a composure on the ball and ability to read the game. We are happy he will spend the rest of the season with us and we look forward to integrating him into the squad." Seelt has been involved in Sunderland's pre-season games and is in contention for Swansea's game at Derby.
Stephen Eustaquio could also be involved at Pride Park after joining Swansea on a permanent deal from Porto.
