Swansea head coach Vitor Matos expects goalkeeper Lawrence Vigouroux to eventually reach the Premier League with his current club. The 32-year-old, who arrived from Burnley in the summer of 2024, recently reached a milestone of 100 appearances for the side during a midweek match against Southampton. Despite spending a year at Burnley without making an appearance, Vigouroux has since become an integral part of the Swansea squad. Matos praised the goalkeeper for his ability to maintain focus and control space, labeling him the most effective keeper currently in the second tier. Swansea is scheduled to host Burnley this Saturday, with Vigouroux seeking a fifth clean sheet in seven league matches. The Chile international has previously gained experience across three tiers of the English Football League, including spells at Leyton Orient and Swindon Town.
