Michu: 'I hope Swansea City sign a striker'

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of the season, scoring 22 goals in the process, but the Spaniard has revealed that he prefers to play in a more withdrawn position.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.
