Swansea City are close to agreeing a transfer for New Zealand international winger Elijah Just from Motherwell after his performances at the World Cup, a move that would require the Championship side to pay a club-record fee to Motherwell.

Just, 26, featured in all three of New Zealand’s matches at the tournament and scored three goals. He joined Motherwell in 2025 after spending most of his career in Denmark, and made 43 appearances for the Fir Park club, scoring seven goals.

The transfer would see Just link up with fellow New Zealand international Marko Stamenic at Swansea and reunite him with summer signing Stephen Welsh, who spent last season on loan at Motherwell from Celtic.
