You would never have imagined it! This former Premier League team actually gathered three major stars to build the central axis

Five years ago, Swansea quietly scraped out three lottery tickets. Five years later, they have become the hottest superstars in the Premier League. Yes, you read that right. The three stars, Zhekelais, Guy and Gibbs White, have actually fought side by side in the Championship field as teammates. In the 2011/12 season, Swansea team was promoted to the Premier League for the first time in history, and once amazed England with passing football. In the first season after Swansea's promotion, he finished 11th in the Premier League, making the best performance among the newly promoted teams of the third team in the same class. The following year, Swansea won the 2012/13 League Cup, winning the most important championship trophy in the team's history in a century, and thus qualifying for the Europa League for the first time. In the 2014/15 season, Swansea ranked 8th in the Premier League, which is the best ranking for the team to compete in the Premier League. In the 2017/18 season, Swansea dropped into the following year's Championship, ending its seven-year Premier League journey. After

was reduced to the Championship, Swansea still played very hard and launched another attack on the Premier League. Especially in the 2020/21 season, although the Welsh team had fallen to the Championship, it quietly completed three "future loan transactions worth 200 million euros". The White Swan had three young players who were unknown at the time in that season, Victor Zhekelais (Brighton on loan), Mark Guy (Chelsea on loan) and Morgan Gibbs White (Wolves on loan). At that time, who would have thought that these three people would become top Premier League stars and regular visitors to their respective national teams in five years. After leaving Swansea, Zhekelais was loaned out by Brighton to Coventry to continue leveling. It was not until he transferred to Portuguese Sports in 2021 that the Swedish god forward ushered in a real explosion. In the 2023/24 season, he won the Portuguese Super League Golden Boot with 29 goals, and last season he even scored 53 goals in various competitions, with an amazing goal efficiency. This summer, Arsenal signed him for €65.8 million. What the Gunners value is not only his goal efficiency, but also his strong oppressive ability and tactical adaptability.

As England's most scarce modern centre-back today, after returning to Chelsea after Swansea on loan for one season, Guy was quickly bought out by Crystal Palace for 23.3 million euros. Now he is one of the most watched central defenders in the Premier League, with steady shots, tough defense and amazing speed. Liverpool has pursued quotations many times this summer, but Crystal Palace insisted on high prices (rejected a £70 million offer). But it is certain that the 25-year-old Guy is destined to be a wealthy family in the future. In the summer of 2022, White, who ended his loan, was bought by Nottingham Forest from Wolves for 29.5 million euros. Now White is not only the absolute core of the team, but also one of the indispensable midfielders of the Three Lions. He has 8 assists in the Premier League in 2023/24 (the number of opportunities created in the whole game is ranked among the top ten in the league), and has been selected for the England national team for the first time. Currently, White's value has soared to 50 million euros.

Imagine that if Swansea could loan Zhekelaysh, White and Guy for another year, perhaps the White Swan had already returned to the Premier League. After all, this central axis, looking back now, can be said to be the top presence in the Premier League! ! !
