Michu: 'I hope Swansea sign a striker'

Swansea City forward Michu reveals that he hopes his club strengthen in the striking department over the summer.

Swansea City forward Michu has admitted that he hopes to revert back to an attacking midfielder role next season.

Michu has been deployed as a striker for the majority of the season, scoring 22 goals in the process, but the Spaniard has revealed that he prefers to play in a more withdrawn position.

The 27-year-old told Wales Online: "I don't know if I will score more than 22 goals next season — you never know but I hope so.

"It's difficult to score that many goals but I think the club will sign new strikers in the summer.

"My teammates next year will score, so there won't be too much pressure. I prefer to play behind the striker but, if the gaffer asks me to play anywhere, I'll play there."

The Swans have been linked with a move for Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku.
