Swansea City signing Bafetimbi Gomis is delighted with his move from Lyon.
Gomis's arrival has led to speculation that Wilfried Bony may leave but the new arrival - who signed on a free transfer from Lyon on Friday - says he has every intention of playing alongside the Ivorian.
French international Gomis, 28, said: "I do not see Wilfried Bony as competition, more of an association, because I know we can also play perfectly together.
"We can benefit each other and that will be strong for the team.''
Gomis continued: "They showed they really wanted me - and that's one of the main reasons I chose Swansea ahead of the other interested clubs.
"They've been trying for over a year to sign me. It didn't quite happen back then, but they kept trying and I'm absolutely delighted to be here now.
"Although I've been aware of Swansea for a number of seasons, I've been following them a lot closer since the interest first materialised last year.
"It's a proud club with strong philosophies. It is growing all the time and I'm honoured to be given the opportunity to be part of it.
"I watched a number of games last season and I think the style will suit me. It's a collective, passing approach which I like.
"I think the way the team play creates lots of chances for the striker and hopefully I can score plenty of goals.''
