Swansea City midfielder Julian de Guzman has backed their move for Valencia winger Pablo Hernandez.

De Guzman has seen plenty of Hernandez after also playing in Spain last season, and believes he would be successful at the Liberty Stadium.

"He would be a great signing. He's a very good player, creative and fast," said De Guzman.

"I've played against him in La Liga where he was one of the key players for Valencia

"Every time I saw him play he impressed me.

"He's creative, he's fast and he can score goals from the left wing."
