Trundle admits that Sinclair is the kind of player who you would happily pay money to go and watch with Scott having grabbed 11 goals so far this short timespan into his spell at the club.

And as the Swans prepare for the first South Wales derby of the season, Trundle admits he will be cheering as loud as anyone should Sinclair continue that form on Sunday.

“He’s a real asset, everything about him has really impressed me. His touch is superb and then you’ve got that pace – he is just quality.

“Then you’ve got the fact he’s already got 11 goals to his name. That’s impressive in itself but when you consider most of his work is out wide it says something.

“His speed is something that stands out but it’s his touch and awareness that puts him into the right areas and then he has the ability to beat defenders.

“When you add that pace on top then he’s almost unplayable.

“For me, that’s what football’s about and he’s someone who excites you when he goes past people.

“You’re always going to get the fans behind you when you score goals but it’s the way he’s playing that makes him a bit special.

“I was always appreciative of the support I got at Swansea when I tried to be a bit different.

“But if he does it in the derby then he’ll be a real hero – and I’ll be cheering as much as anyone.”

“It’s the perfect stage for him,” he adds. “Everyone will have noticed how he’s started and taken a few of the headlines but in such a big game and with it being televised then he can really show what he’s made of on Sunday.

“He’s settled in brilliantly but I think there’s more to come from him and he’s got a great chance to show that.

“I’m sure the other lads in the team have been telling him what the game means to the supporters and being in the city he’ll have already been caught up in how important it is to both sides – even more so now with where the two teams are in the table.

“But players like him shine on the big stage and I’m sure he’ll do the same, hopefully with a couple of goals.”
