Renato Sanches joins Swansea on season-long loan from Bayern Munich

Swansea have completed the loan signing of Bayern Munich's Renato Sanches.

The midfielder has joined City for the season in a move which reunites him with former Bayern coach Paul Clement, now in charge in south Wales.

Sanches cost Bayern £27.5m in the wake of Portugal's victory at Euro 2016, where he was named young player of the tournament.

But the 20-year-old has started just six Bundesliga games and was made available for loan earlier this summer.

Swansea announced the news in a tweet showing Sanches in conversation with his Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

British grandmother, 72, heartbroken after Nigerian husband, 27, is refused a UK visa after she spent £20,000 on wedding and flights

Angela Nwachukwu, 72, married her husband CJ Nwachukwu in April 2015, just three months after he had added her on Facebook and struck up a conversation. The retired taxi driver from Weymouth says she couldn't help but fall for her 27-year-old lover from Nigeria, when they started talking, and is devastated that their applications for visas have failed. She says she has spent £20,000 on him, including lawyers to help with the visas and flights to visit him, but says he had repaid her half when he can.
