Planet Swans ArchivesTabanou arrived from St Etienne to provide left back competition for Neil Taylor next season giving us another option at full back.
Described defensively as being as good as Taylor but offering us extra options going forward, Tabanou declared the Swansea was the right move for him and he was looking forward to playing with other imports from the French league in Bafetimbi Gomis and Andre Ayew who signed his own deal last week.
Speaking to the official site upon completing his signing he said “Swansea is a very good Premier League club and I believe it’s the right move forward for me at this stage of my career
“I wanted to come to Swansea because I believe we are the perfect match.
“I was aware of Swansea’s interest in me for a while, but unfortunately it didn’t happen back in January. But I’ve been watching them closely ever since and I like the way they play the game; their whole philosophy on football.
“Once I spoke to the manager and the Chairman my mind was made up because I realised they really wanted me. Again, it all matched.
“I was particularly impressed with the manager because he knew everything about me. I was also touched by the fact that he said I was a top signing for Swansea.”
