Swansea City bring in Scottish midfielder Ryan Blair from Falkirk

Swansea have signed midfielder Ryan Blair from Falkirk for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.

Blair, 19, has penned a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Premier League club and will link up with their under-21 squad.

Glasgow-born Blair made 10 appearances for Scottish Championship side Falkirk after breaking through last season and joins former Bairns players Botti Biabi, Stephen Kingsley and Jay Fulton at the Liberty Stadium.

Blair becomes the first Swansea signing since Francesco Guidolin was appointed as head coach last week.

"It feels great. I never thought I would get the opportunity to join a Premier League club,'' Blair told Swansea's official website.

"I want to kick on now and get myself some game time between now and the end of the season.

"I played with Stephen, Jay and and Botti at Falkirk. The three being here will help me settle quicker."
