For a manager who has been in charge for less than eighteen months he is – without a doubt – a man who knows what he wants and the club are clearly keen to deliver as the four summer signings for me show a clear intention to do better next season.

And when you add the fact that we have two more key additions to the coaching staff and things are looking good for the Swansea city manager and is it any wonder that he is happy with the way his summer has played itself out.

On the day he added Eder to the names of Kristoffer Nordfeldt, Franck Tabanou and Andre Ayew he spoke to the official site about his latest capture

รขโ‚ฌล“Eder is the type of striker weรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve been looking for. He has excellent attributes; strong, quick and technically sound with the ball,รขโ‚ฌย said Monk.

รขโ‚ฌล“He has a good pedigree and is a full international with Portugal. He fits our profile in terms of the players weรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve signed in the last two seasons because heรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs young, hungry and eager to prove himself in the Premier League.

รขโ‚ฌล“He has the characteristics we are looking for and will certainly add competition to the striking department.

รขโ‚ฌล“Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขm looking forward to seeing him work alongside the likes of Bafe (Gomis) and Marvin (Emnes). And the fact that weรขโ‚ฌโ„ขve got him in early is a bonus.รขโ‚ฌย
