Planet Swans ArchivesFabianski was written off by some when he arrived at the club last summer from Arsenal but the Big Pole soon proved any of the doubters wrong and was one of the outstanding performers of last season not just at the Swans but in the Premier League as a whole.
But he proved himself to be an inspirational signing and a string of clean sheets and incredible saves made him a firm favourite with the club which went a long way to earning him a new contract.
Monk signed a second goalkeeper this summer with the arrival at the club of Kristoffer Nordfeldt as competition for Fabianski and it would have been just a big a boost to see Fab sign his new contract as it would have been to complete any of the four signings we have made this summer.
รขโฌลLukasz has been fantastic,รขโฌย Monk acknowledged.
รขโฌลHe had a great season last year. Iรขโฌโขm sure heรขโฌโขd agree that was probably the best of his career.
รขโฌลHe did exceptionally well so the club have decided to reward him with a contract, which is deserved.
รขโฌลHe was linked to other sides, but it shows how committed he is to whatรขโฌโขs happening here and how much he enjoys it.
รขโฌลFrom the clubรขโฌโขs point of view they have to look after their assets because theyรขโฌโขre worth a lot of money.
รขโฌลWe have to protect ourselves, but players sign contract extensions because theyรขโฌโขve earned them. It works both ways.
รขโฌลItรขโฌโขs great to have Lukasz here and weรขโฌโขll look forward to the new season.รขโฌย
