Swansea City are entering into the new season with one goal in mind.

The Swans enjoyed an excellent campaign last term after securing a fourth place finish in the Championship, qualifying them for the play-offs in the process.

After overcoming the challenge of Barnsley, Steve Cooper's side met Brentford in the final but unfortunately fell short.

This term the challenge will be to battle for automatic promotion - however if they're to do that then they'll need to strengthen.

The new season will start against Blackburn Rovers but how will the Swansea line up? We look at how Cooper's side could potentially look.

Signing a new goalkeeper has to be a priority this summer.

Freddie Woodman has held the role for the last two seasons after joining the club on two successive loan deals from Newcastle United.

The stopper has returned to St James's Park but admitted that he would be happy to return to the Swans for the new season.

Opportunities could be hard to come by under Steve Bruce and so there's a decent chance that he could be back at the Liberty Stadium next term, meaning that I'd be fancying him to start the opening game of the season against Blackburn Rovers.

A player who has an incredibly bright future ahead of him.

Neco Williams has burst onto the scene with Liverpool and gained great exposure as part of Jurgen Klopp's squad, but the focus for him now will be on gaining regular first team football.

Reports from Teamtalk have claimed that the full-back could be lined up for a loan move next term with Swansea among the clubs interested.

The Wales international could be tempted by a move to South Wales and so it's plausible that he could be in Steve Cooper's starting XI for the league opener.

The central defender looks set for a big season next term.

At 21 years of age Ben Cabango is a player with plenty of improving to do but after making 31 appearances for the club last term it's clear that he's someone who is highly-rated at the Liberty Stadium.

Cabango will be a key player for Steve Cooper's side and is a dead-cert to start against Blackburn.

Apart from injury, the only way that I can see him missing out is if he was to secure a big move away this summer, but as it stand I think we'll see him on that Swansea team sheet.

Another player who could be on the move this summer.

Kean Bryan is currently playing for Sheffield United where he was part of the side who suffered relegation from the Premier League in a disappointing season.

However with his contract due to expire at the end of June it seems inevitable that he could move on.

Swansea City are one of the clubs who are keen on a move for the 24-year-old and given that he's available on a free transfer I think that this would be a shrewd move.

It may be a long-shot but this would be a great signing to make ahead of the big kick-off.

It would be a huge surprise if Jake Bidwell wasn't in the team for the opener.

The left-back was a key player for Swansea City last term after making 42 appearances for the club on their journey to the play-off finals.

As well as being defensively sound, the former QPR and Brentford man contributed eight assists which was a real boost as the club strived for promotion.

I can't see Bidwell being replaced in the team and so he's one existing Swan who should be named on the teamsheet.

One of Swansea City's best players last term.

Connor Roberts was used as both a right-back and a right-winger last term in a campaign that saw him really excel for the Swans.

Five goals and seven assists showed just how productive he was, while a goal for Wales in Euro 2020 has also showed that he has the quality to kick on to another level.

Providing that no one comes in to try and sign him I expect Roberts to start the season with Swansea  - something which will be a real boost as someone who could make a big difference to Steve Cooper's side over the course of the campaign.

A player who was one of the unsung heroes of last term.

The 27-year-old was a big player for Swansea City with his no-nonsense approach to the game ensuring that the Swans were fiercely competitive throughout the season.

Fulton is a popular figure at the Liberty Stadium and it'd be a big surprise if he was to drop down the pecking order at Steve Cooper.

Swansea need leaders like him in the team and so I'd fully expect him to start against Blackburn.

A player who could make the move to South Wales this summer.

Jorge Grant has been one of League One's most productive midfielders of late after scoring 17 goals and creating nine more for Lincoln City in their journey to the League One play-off final.

After missing out on promotion it seems that a clause in his contract will allow him to leave for a Championship club, with Swansea among those interested.

Both Swansea and Nottingham Forest have been previously linked with the player, but with Steve Cooper looking to replace Conor Hourihane, he could be an ideal addition.

Grant looks certain to move on and supporters will be hoping to see him in the white of Swansea next season.

Swansea City will be praying that Matt Grimes is still at the club next term.

Hampshire Live have reported that both Southampton and Newcastle United are interested in a move for the midfielder after a thoroughly impressive campaign for the Swans.

A move to the Premier League will be appealing, but I'd like to think that he'll stay put for at least another season.

Grimes made 48 appearances last term and is certain to be a massive player as Steve Cooper's side look to finish off the job of securing promotion.

A player who is almost certain to be involved on the opening day of the season.

Jamal Lowe moved to Swansea City last summer and enjoyed a decent debut campaign for the club after finding the net no less than 14 times for Steve Cooper's squad.

With Andre Ayew moving on it means that the Swans will need goals and that's where Lowe will be hoping to step up.

The weight of responsibility could fall on his shoulders next term, and wherever he fits into Cooper's system, I'd be hugely surprised if the 26-year-old wasn't an automatic starter.

A player who has been heavily linked with a move to Swansea City.

Wales Online reported that Joel Piroe has been the subject of a seven-figure offer from the Swans which has been accepted by Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.

It remains to be seen if that move will go through, but as it stands it seems that Steve Cooper's side are in pole position.

Swansea need a striker to lead the line following Andre Ayew's departure at the end of his contract, and with Piroe reportedly keen on a move to Wales it could be a deal that has the potential to be completed in time for the Blackburn clash.
