Michu: Too soon to call me Swansea legend!

Michu is happy with his new deal at Swansea City.

Swansea wasted no time in securing Michu on a new four-year deal last ­Wednesday.

The star, 26, who cost just £2.2million from Rayo Vallecano last summer, is now the highest earner at the Welsh club with wages of around £40,000-a-week.

And he said: "I want to stay at Swansea.

"Wednesday was the perfect day for me. I signed a new contract and then we got through to the final.

"We're going to Wembley and it's like a dream. Swansea are a club on the way up."

Michael Laudrup's current stars can rewrite the history books if they emerge victorious against League Two Bradford in the club's first major cup final.

But despite his stunning season, modest Michu has played down talk he is in line to join the greats of the Welsh club, who fittingly also celebrate their centenary season.

Michu said: "I have been confident in my ability this season. But I'm not a legend at Swansea. I try to work hard and score goals for the team."
