  14. Sheehan eyes new Swansea signing before Boro

    Swansea City hope to seal at least one more signing before Saturday's Championship opener at Middlesbrough.

    The Swans have so far added Cameron Burgess, Ricardo Santos, Ethan Galbraith, Zeidane Inoussa and Bobby Wales while Melker Widell is with them after being loaned back to Aalborg BK after signing in January.

    However, Swansea's options are limited at centre-back and they are in the market for a striker.

    Asked if a new signing was on the cards ahead of the trip to Middlesbrough, head coach Alan Sheehan replied: "All going well, yeah.

    "We are in talks with players, but we are not going to just sign anyone, it's got to be the right fit for the football club in order to make us better.

    "We've made good quality signings and maybe will make a couple more before the end of the window."

    Swansea's squad remains thin after a long summer leavers list that included Harry Darling, Kyle Naughton, Joe Allen and Lewis O'Brien.

    "There has been a lot of change, we have done good business, but we will also need to bring in more," said Sheehan.

    "There's a recruitment strategy with Adam Worth onto us daily. We are as a football club quite active to bring in more players."

    Swansea have been linked with Wycombe striker Richard Kone, who was left out of their squad for the League One opener at Bradford.

    "There is a lot of noise about that, but it's not something I would comment on," said Sheehan.

    Wrexham were beaten by Eredivisie side FC Groningen in two back-to-back matches in the Netherlands on Saturday.

    In the first game a side which included most recent signing Conor Coady were beaten 1-0 after conceding a late goal.

    The second game saw David Van der Werff put the hosts ahead after 18 minutes but four minutes later Josh Windass equalised with his first goal for Wrexham.

    But Groningen went ahead seven minutes before half-time through Brynjólfur Willumsson and the Iceland international sealed the win with his side's third with a minute of the 90 remaining.

    Wrexham begin the Championship season – their first in English football's second tier since 1982 – on Saturday, 9 August at Southampton.

    Swansea City were beaten 3-1 by French side Lorient in their final friendly ahead of the Championship season.

    Alan Sheehan's side were downed at Swansea.com Stadium and were without the injured Ben Cabango, Filip Lissah, Ricardo Santos and Zan Vipotnik in their last tune-up for next Saturday's trip to Middlesbrough (15:00 BST).

    The Ligue 1 side were in charge from the off and finally got their noses in front through Pablo Pagis' calm finish in the 23rd minute after Cameron Burgess had given the ball away.

    Melker Widell should have swiftly levelled but scuffed his shot from close range and it was 2-0 on the half hour when Pagis scored from Gedeon Kalulu's pass, with Josh Key potentially having the final touch with an attempted tackle.

    The third came from the spot through Mohamed Bamba in the 42nd minute after Igor Silva was brought down by teenager Arthur Parker.

    Ronald should have made it 3-1 after 53 minutes but was denied in a one-on-one with goalkeeper Benjamin Leroy, then Lawrence Vigouroux did likewise at the other end against Pagis.

    Liam Cullen got Swansea off the mark with a penalty in the 64th minute after Ronald had been fouled and then the Wales forward had a header chalked off for offside.
