Swans star Ethan Galbraith breaks silence on 'nice' Wrexham transfer interest

As reported earlier this week, Wrexham are monitoring Galbraith's situation amid an ongoing stand-off over a new Swansea contract.

The 25-year-old still has two years remaining on his current deal at the Swansea.com Stadium, with the club also holding the option of a further 12 months, but negotiations over improved terms have yet to reach a breakthrough.

Galbraith is currently away on international duty with Northern Ireland after recovering from the calf injury that ended his Championship season in March.

Speaking ahead of friendlies against Guinea and France, he was asked about speculation linking him with a move away from Swansea, including reported interest from Wrexham and Premier League clubs.

"It's nice when you see people are saying that you are doing good things," Galbraith said.

"But at the moment I'm a Swansea player and will just try and focus on Swansea."

The midfielder also offered an encouraging update on the calf problem that forced him to miss the final weeks of the campaign.

Swansea head coach Vitor Matos had previously suggested he would prefer Galbraith to sit out Northern Ireland's summer fixtures in order to fully recover, but the player says he has been given the green light to return.

"I'm happy to be able to come to camp," he said.

"I spent six or seven weeks just with a physio, so that was quite long just training by myself but it is all good now.

"When you spend time off the pitch it's obviously frustrating. So having these games is absolutely brilliant for everyone, but coming off the back of an injury, it'll be good to get back out there."

Galbraith enjoyed an impressive first season at Swansea, featuring both in midfield and at right-back, and his performances have made him one of the club's most valuable assets heading into the summer.

Wrexham's interest comes as the ambitious Championship side prepare for another recruitment drive under Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

However, Swansea remain determined to retain Galbraith and are expected to continue discussions over a new contract, despite an initial offer having been rejected by the player's representatives.

For now, though, Galbraith's focus remains on international duty before turning his attention back to Swansea and the new Championship campaign.
