Swansea sell Italian striker Paloschi to Atalanta

Swansea City made official on Friday the sale of Italian striker Alberto Paloschi to Atalanta, only six months after his arrival at the English football club.

The 26-year-old, who was signed last January for eight million pounds ($11.4 million) from Chievo Verona, leaves the club with a poor record of only two goals in ten games, reports Efe.

The transfer, which will be effective on July 1 when the window opens, saves Swansea around five million pounds ($7.1 million).
