Franck Tabanou upset being ignored by Swansea boss Monk

Franck Tabanou is already considering his future at Swansea City.

The left back joined from St Etienne in the summer for approximately £3.5million but has only featured in two Capital One Cup games, with Garry Monk preferring Neil Taylor.

"It was not at all what I was expecting," he told L'Equipe. "Me, when I chose the club, it was with the idea to reach the next level in my career. When Swansea came for me, I had the impression that they wanted to value me.

"I even told my agent to shut down all the other options, whether it was Dynamo Kiev, Sevilla or other clubs. Swansea is a very good club to progress in. I had a good pre-season, things went well. I was playing half of the matches, the other left back the other half. Since then, nothing.

"I cannot stay like this. If this continues, we will make a decision in December. But, me, I am just asking for my chance. It is a club who has been following for more than a year. They made a considerable financial offer for me, they must have discovered my abilities."
