Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Villarreal midfielder Jonathan de Guzman has joined Swansea City on a season-long loan. De Guzman is the new City manager Michael Laudrup's second signing, after the defender Jose Manuel Flores signed from Genoa .
De Guzman, a Canada-born Netherlands Under-21 midfielder who played under Laudrup at Mallorca, said: "Once the opportunity came along to join Swansea and Michael Laudrup it was a done deal. I didn't have to think twice about it."
Born in Ontario, De Guzman moved to the Netherlands as a youngster when he joined Feyenoord's youth academy. He played more than 100 games for the Rotterdam club.
In July 2010, he joined Mallorca on a free transfer. He made 38 appearances before being sold to Villarreal for a fee believed to be around £7m in August 2011.
