Vitor Matos says he is "really happy" with the contributions of Malick Yalcouye and Gustavo Nunes as the two loan signings prepare to leave Swansea City.

Midfielder Yalcouye (pictured above) and winger Nunes (below) will head back to their parent clubs after Swansea's season-ending game at home to Charlton Athletic on Saturday (12:30 BST).

Left-back Ishe Samuels-Smith also sees his Swansea loan spell conclude this weekend, though he has already returned to Chelsea after his season was curtailed by injury.

"They all were important in some moment of the season," Matos said.

"The loan spells were good for both [Yalcouye and Nunes] in terms of developing, good for us in terms of having players with that kind of profile, good for the mother clubs because they expose these players to the Championship level.

"I'm really happy for both of them and Ishe as well. They are really good kids, professional, and the squad loves all of them."

Yalcouye, 20, has played 36 times for Swansea, scoring once, since arriving on a season-long loan deal from Brighton and Hove Albion.
