Transfer priorities clear for Swansea - Matos
[Huw Evans Picture Agency] Vitor Matos says it is "clear" what is required as Swansea City look to put the finishing touches to their squad in the final stages of the transfer window. Swansea have made five permanent signings so far this summer, with defender Stephen Welsh, attacking midfielder Elijah Just, wingers Joseph Opoku and Moussa Yeo and striker Ross Stewart moving to the Welsh club. They have also brought in left-back Tiago Parente on loan, leaving centre-back and central midfield as the two areas where Matos remains keen to strengthen. The need for a new face at the heart of defence has increased after Cameron Burgess (pictured above) suffered an Achilles injury which is likely to rule him out for the season. "It's clear the profile [Swansea want], so it's now about finding the right ones and seeing which possibilities arise for us," Matos said. "The market is still open, that means we as a club always try to see if there are opportunities and possibilities to improve the squad in terms of strengths and profiles. "If it happens, it will happen, if it does not happen, it will not happen. Let's see." Young striker Bobby Wales has become the latest player to leave Swansea this summer after he completed a loan move to Scottish Premiership side Dundee. The Swans have sold Liam Cullen, Cameron Congreve and youngster Kyrell Wilson, while Sam Parker and Ollie Cooper have also departed on loan. Florian Bianchini is among the other fringe players who could leave, but Matos says Zeidane Inoussa remains in his plans even though the Swedish winger has not been involved so far this season. "He's part of the squad," Matos said. "It's just with the possibilities we have at the moment, he was not in the squad for the first game [at Stoke]. Let's see for the next one."
