Swindon Town’s attention will have turned to preparing for life back in League One after securing promotion from League Two. Two of the club’s star performers from last season, Jerry Yates and Eoin Doyle, have secured moves to Blackpool and Bolton Wanderers respectively.
However, a positive update has emerged regarding Swindon’s pursuit of another one of last season’s star men. The Sun journalist Alan Nixon has reported that the Robins’ pursuit of now free agent Diallang Jaiyesimi is “looking optimistic”.
Jaiyesimi is available for nothing this summer after departing Norwich City at the end of his deal.
As covered here on The72 earlier this summer, the playmaker is not without his transfer interest. A whole host of clubs are said to be interested in Jaiyesimi but Swindon will be hoping to swoop in for a reunion deal.
Jaiyesimi, 21, thoroughly impressed while on loan with Swindon Town. Injury problems got in the way in the early days but became a star performer upon his return to fitness. He scored four goals and laid on one assist in 23 appearances, impressing on the wing and in attacking midfield.
