Swansea City are closing in on a deal to sign Burnley goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux.

The Swans are eager to add a shot stopper following Carl Rushworth’s return to Brighton after the 2023-24 season.

The Championship side appear destined to secure the services of 30-year-old goalkeeper Vigouroux this summer.

Vigouroux joined the Clarets from Leyton Orient during the 2023 summer transfer window, but is yet to feature for the Turf Moor club.

The London-born goalkeeper was a first team regular at Swindon Town during current Swansea boss Luke Williams’ time in charge.

Vigouroux started his career with Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur and also had spells with Hyde, Liverpool, Waterford and Everton de Vina del Mar.

He won Leyton Orient’s Player of the Year award three seasons running and was included in the EFL League Two Team of the Season during the 2022-23 campaign.

Swansea have already signed Portuguese midfielder Gonçalo Franco from Moreirense and versatile forward Eom Ji-Sung from Gwangju FC.

In addition to a goalkeeper, the Welsh club are also keen to add at least one striker to their ranks during the current window, along with a central defender.
