New Swansea signings settling quickly - Britton
[Getty Images] Swansea City coach Leon Britton feels new signings Elijah Just and Joseph Opoku have settled in quickly after they caught the eye during a 2-0 win over Udinese. New Zealand international Just, who joined on Wednesday , scored on his first Swansea outing while Ghana winger Opoku hit the post late on, having signed on Thursday . Former Swans midfielder Britton has been impressed by the new additions, and feels the attacking pair can have a big impact when the season gets under way next month. "It was great to see them out there. I think they did really well," he told the club's official website. "They've only had a day or two of training with the group, so they are still getting to know how the manager wants to play. "They came in and had an impact; Joseph on the wing, looking dangerous and Eli came on and took his goal really well. "It looks like they've settled in really quickly. I'm sure they can have a big impact for the team." Swansea head back to Wales following their pre-season camp in Austria, during which they also drew with Holstein Kiel and lost to VFL Bochum. "It's been a really good week, the players have worked hard and the new players have come in," Britton added. "We will look back on this tour as a really successful one." Swansea start the 2026-27 campaign with a home Carabao Cup tie against Championship side Birmingham on Saturday, 8 August (15:00 BST), after their final pre-season friendly against CD Leganes of Spain.
