Vigouroux longs for first senior Chile cap

Lawrence Vigouroux says his national team, Chile, are watching every Swansea City game as he targets a first senior cap.

The Swans goalkeeper is in Chile's squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Peru on Saturday and Venezuela on Wednesday, 20 November.

He is hoping his impressive displays for Swansea this season may finally lead to a first senior cap at the age of 30.

"It depends what the manager wants," he said of his chances of pulling on the Chile shirt over the next week.

"I just have to keep doing what I'm doing here. Working on my distribution, making saves and trying to help the team with crosses.

"But first and foremost I play for Swansea so the first thing on my mind is how I can help the guys here."

Vigouroux has started all 15 of Swansea's Championship matches this season - plus their two EFL Cup ties - and says his Chile coaches are watching closely.

"The goalkeeper coach watches every game," he said.

"He will send me a debrief of what he thinks. It's good to have that.

"I am happy they watch and take an interest, but day to day I listen to the manager here and Marge (Martyn Margetson).

"They are the ones who allow me to play for this club."

Less than ideal for Swans head coach Luke Williams, though, is the fact Chile's game with Venezuela is so late in the international window.

It means Vigouroux probably will not be back in Swansea until Thursday, 21 November at the earliest, though he and his teammates do have an extra day to prepare with their next game at Leeds United put back to Sunday, 24 November.
