Swansea City defender Federico Fernandez says he is set to sign a new contract at the Premier League club.

The 27 year old Argentine centre-back was one of three Swans players the club received offers for in January, according to chairman Huw Jenkins.

"Probably in the next week I will sign a new contract," said Fernandez.

"They said I was very important for the team. They are confident in me," he said. "The offers came in, the club said no and I am happy to stay."
