Swansea City winger Zeidane Inoussa has moved on loan to Gornik Zabrze, a top-tier team in Poland’s Ekstraklasa, for the remainder of the current season. The move follows his omission from Swansea’s squad list for the English Football League (EFL) season, which means he won’t be playing for the Championship club in domestic competitions. Inoussa had previously been linked with a potential move to Portsmouth during the English transfer deadline day in early January and was also connected with a loan spell at Croatian club Osijek this week.
Inoussa, 24, remains under contract with Swansea until 2030, and the club retains the right to recall him in January 2027. Swansea head coach Vitor Matos expressed support for the loan move, stating, “We hope he makes an impact [at Gornik Zabrze]. He’s a wonderful kid, a really good professional. He just needs game-time and consistency in playing. I think that’s what he wants as well, so it’s a good option in terms of finding that. We are here for him and hopefully everything goes right.”
Inoussa was signed by Swansea from Swedish club BK Hacken in the summer of 2025 for a reported significant fee. However, he has struggled to make an impact in the Championship, scoring just once in 29 appearances last season. His playing time was further limited by a stress fracture in his back, which kept him out of action after January. As a result, Inoussa has not featured in any matchday squads for Swansea this season, with competition for starting spots on the wing being particularly fierce under Matos.
The loan to Gornik Zabrze provides Inoussa with an opportunity to gain regular playing time and regain his form. For Swansea, the move allows them to maintain flexibility in their squad while supporting the player’s development. Gornik Zabrze, known for developing young talent, will be hoping Inoussa can contribute to their campaign in the Polish top flight.
