    Swansea City forward Kyrell Wilson has joined Belgian top division side KAA Gent for an undisclosed fee.

    The 21-year-old spent last season on loan at Scottish Premiership side Falkirk, where he scored three goals and made one assist.

    Wilson - a former Chelsea academy player - also had a spell on loan at National League side Yeovil Town after joining Swansea in 2021.

    Despite featuring in multiple matchday squads, Wilson never made a senior appearance for the Swans.

    Newport County boss Hayden Mullins has urged his players to concentrate on themselves when they complete preparations for the new season against Roma.

    The Exiles host the Italian giants, who lost 4-1 to Cardiff on Saturday, tonight (19:00 BST) in Mullins' first game in the dugout at Rodney Parade.

    County beat National League side Yeovil in the former Fulham under-21 boss' first friendly in the hot seat, but they face a different test this evening.

    "We've got to concentrate on what we want to do, how we set up. They are a very good team," said Mullins.

    "We could draw a Premier League team in the cup, for example, and it could be a similar set-up.

    "We will try to get some bits into the boys about how we want to go about our game, work out of possession and how to potentially hurt them.

    "It's a fantastic game for the fans, and for everyone. We are looking forward to it."

    Newport will begin the 2026-27 season with a Carabao Cup tie against League One side AFC Wimbledon on Saturday, 8 August (15:00 BST).

    Mullins' first League Two fixture as Exiles manager is against Rochdale on Saturday, 15 August (12:30 BST).
