The update says Swansea have announced Just as their latest signing, although the transfer remains based on a single report and should be treated cautiously. The fee has not been disclosed, but the deal is described as a multi-million-pound club-record sale for Motherwell.
Just is reportedly Swansea’s third incoming player of the window, following Stephen Welsh and Moussa Yeo. He will also link up with fellow New Zealander Marko Stamenić, who apparently played a role in persuading him to make the move.
“Tenho sorte de ter o Marko aqui. Nós conversamos muito por telefone e ele me falou bastante sobre o clube e o estilo de jogo,” Just said, explaining how Stamenić helped him understand the club. He also highlighted Welsh’s presence and said he researched Swansea extensively once their interest emerged.
Just arrives with a growing international profile. The report credits him with three goals in three matches at this summer’s World Cup, making him New Zealand’s leading scorer in the competition’s history. That form reportedly attracted interest from clubs in several countries, with Celtic among those linked before Swansea moved for the winger.
For Swansea, the appeal appears clear. Just can provide width, direct running and an attacking threat capable of transitioning quickly-qualities that could be valuable in the demanding Championship. His existing relationship with Welsh and Stamenić may also help him settle quickly.
The immediate focus will be Just’s adaptation to Swansea’s system and the physical demands of English second-tier football. He acknowledged the challenge ahead, saying: “Assisti a muitos jogos da Championship, é uma liga difícil. Acho que vai combinar comigo e espero contribuir para fazermos algo especial.”
If the reported agreement is completed as described, Swansea will hope his World Cup momentum can translate into consistent club performances.
