Guidolin eyeing Swansea reinforcements this summer

Francesco Guidolin says he and chairman Huw Jenkins are planning to make some slight changes to the Swansea City squad over the summer.

The Italian was awarded with a two-year deal last week for keeping the Welsh club aloft in the Premier League and finished the season with a 1-1 draw against Manchester City at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.

Guidolin, who took over in January, joined the team for the end-of-season lap after the City draw and admits it was a nice moment to enjoy as he immediately sets his sights on the 2016/17 season.

"It was a fantastic moment for me on the pitch with players, families and children and in front of our fans," he said after guiding Swansea to a 12th-placed finish.

"It is a fantastic family and another surprise for me, because we are not used to this in Italy.

"Now we need to prepare a good team for next season.

"I have spoken with my chairman and we start with a good team.

"We need something in the summer, but not too many changes."
