The 2016-17 campaign delivered a dramatic and memorable "great escape" for Swansea City, as the Swans, despite a tumultuous season with three different managers, secured their Premier League survival with a 15th-place finish. Spearheading the charge was the clinical veteran striker Fernando Llorente, whose 15 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on the crucial mid-season turnaround orchestrated by the arrival of manager Paul Clement. With the creative genius of Player of the Year Gylfi Sigurðsson alongside him, the team's vital late-season form secured their top-flight status, cementing a tense but ultimately triumphant chapter in the club's modern history.
