Swansea City have been very active in the January transfer window already and today they confirmed their second signing of the month.

Following Andy Fisher - the MK Dons goalkeeper who signed on Tuesday - through the door is Republic of Ireland international Cyrus Christie.

He arrives on a loan deal from Fulham for the rest of the season, having only made one appearance for the Cottagers this season in the EFL Cup.

Russell Martin needed a replacement for Ethan Laird, who was recalled by Manchester United earlier in the month - only to be sent back out on loan to Swansea's league rivals in high-flying Bournemouth.

He's now found the man to fill Laird's shoes in the form of Christie, who was a regular for Nottingham Forest last season, featuring 44 times in the Championship.

The 29-year-old could not force his way into Marco Silva's plans though at Craven Cottage as he found Kenny Tete and Denis Odoi in-front of him, paving the way for his exit.

Whilst he doesn't possess Laird's youthfulness, Christie does have a ton of experience at Championship and international level and Swansea fans seem to be pleased in regards to this signing - let's see what they are saying on social media.
