Swindon Town are targeting three specific wingers as manager Ian Holloway aims to make a tenth and final summer signing. The League Two club, currently sitting 7th with four points from two games, wants to add more firepower to its attack before the window closes.
According to a report in the Swindon Advertiser this week, the club has held talks with Burton Albion regarding Kain Adom. Two other players, Danny Butterworth and Ayman Benarous, have also been training with the squad to prove their fitness. With the team having scored two goals and conceded one so far this season, adding a creative spark is seen as a priority. Holloway's side is just two points behind early leaders Barnet, and strengthening the squad now could be key to maintaining a promotion push.
Who are the three winger targets?
The Advertiser's report identifies three players currently unattached or out of favour at their clubs who could fit Swindon's needs. The first is Klaidi Lolos of Peterborough United. The six-foot-two attacker, who can play as a striker, attacking midfielder, or off the left, has not been part of a matchday squad for Peterborough this season. He spent last season on loan at Crawley Town, where his performances were impressive. Data shows he ranked in the top 15 percent of League Two players for successful dribbles per 90 minutes and created 0.75 chances per game during that spell.
The second name is Chem Campbell, currently at Stevenage. The former Wolverhampton Wanderers academy product, like current Swindon players Filozofe Mabete and Fletcher Holman, has also been absent from his club's matchday squads this season. His best campaign came in 2024/25 with Reading, where he scored seven goals and provided four assists. Last season in League One, he completed 1.39 dribbles per 90 minutes and was in the top ten percent of wingers for balls won in the final third.
The third potential option is Glenn Middleton of Doncaster Rovers. The former Scotland under-21 international started 15 games in League One last term, providing six assists across all competitions. His crossing ability was exceptional, placing him in the top one percent of players in the division for successful crosses. He offers versatility, being able to play on both the left and right wing.
How would a new winger fit the current squad?
Swindon have already added Jack Thomson this summer and have attacking options like Aaron Drinan and Joseph Hungbo. However, the pursuit of another wide player suggests Holloway wants more depth and specific qualities. The data on the linked players highlights a desire for dribblers who can create chances. Lolos's physicality and Campbell's pressing from the front are attributes that could complement the existing group. Integrating a new signing quickly would be important, as the team looks to build on its solid start. Fans can view the full squad for the current season on our site.
What is Swindon Town's current league position?
The context for any new signing is the ongoing season. Swindon Town have begun the 2026/27 League Two campaign with a win and a draw, earning four points. This places them 7th in the early standings, with a positive goal difference of +1. They are within touching distance of the top, sitting just two points behind Barnet. This promising start increases the importance of getting the final piece of the summer puzzle right. A player who can unlock defences could be the difference in turning draws into wins as the season progresses. You can follow all the team's match stats as the campaign develops.
What happens next for Swindon's transfer plans?
With the window entering its final phase, decisions will need to be made swiftly. The club's interest in Adom is advanced, having moved to the talking stage, while assessments of Butterworth and Benarous are ongoing through training. The profiles of Lolos, Campbell, and Middleton present different tactical possibilities for Holloway. Securing a tenth signing would complete a busy summer of recruitment aimed at building a squad capable of challenging at the top end of League Two. The immediate focus then shifts to the pitch, where the new-look team will aim to convert their solid start into a sustained push for promotion.
