Planet Swans ArchivesNordfeldt celebrated his birthday by signing for the club and then got married and was told he was going to be a father all within days of each other which isn’t the normal quiet close season that maybe some players can expect.
But having made his Swans bow in the midweek 1-1 draw in Germany, he couldn’t be a happier man as he looks forward to trying to dislodge the excellent Lukasz Fabianski from the Number 1 spot at Swansea and help the club build on last season’s record breaking performances.
The Swedish international will not have been signed purely to be a complete back up to Fab, this is a serious signing of someone that we know can compete for the first team spot and whilst he will start as a number 2 having a serious competitor in the background for the jersey should bring the best out of both goalkeepers.
Speaking to the club’s official website whilst on tour, Nordfeldt said รขโฌลItรขโฌโขs been quite a busy start to life at Swansea
รขโฌลI came to Swansea to meet the gaffer and do the medical, and a day later I signed for the club on my birthday.
รขโฌลA couple of days later I got married to my wife, and then we had the great news that we are expecting our first child in November.
รขโฌลIรขโฌโขve also had to adapt to my new club and get used to everything, and now weรขโฌโขre here in Grassau preparing for the new season.
รขโฌลWe have more time with the boys out here and it strengthens the bond within the team.
รขโฌลEveryone has been very caring and welcoming to me and the fellow new players. Itรขโฌโขs an easy group to fit into. Itรขโฌโขs been a smooth transition.”
Nordfeldt is expected to make his first start for the Swans today in the final game in Germany against 1860 Munich.
