Swansea City are looking to strengthen their squad in the final stages of the transfer window, with manager Vitor Matos clear on the club's priorities. The Swans have made five permanent signings so far this summer, but Matos remains keen to add to his defence and midfield.
What happened?
The need for a new face at the heart of defence has increased after Cameron Burgess suffered an Achilles injury, which is likely to rule him out for the season. Matos has stated that the profile of the player Swansea want is clear, but it's now about finding the right ones and seeing which possibilities arise.
Why it matters for Swansea City
The Swans have sold several players this summer, including Liam Cullen, Cameron Congreve, and youngster Kyrell Wilson. Matos has also mentioned that Zeidane Inoussa remains in his plans, despite not being involved in the first game of the season.
What comes next?
The transfer market is still open, and Matos is keen to see if there are opportunities to improve the squad. He has stated that if it happens, it will happen, and if it doesn't, it won't. The Swans have a lot to play for this season, and Matos is determined to strengthen the squad to achieve their goals.
