Monk slams Keown over Swansea sale claims

Swansea City boss Garry Monk is determined to keep his squad together.

Monk has angrily rejected pundit Martin Keown's claim that the likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jefferson Montero could leave the Liberty Stadium.

He said: "I don't know who he has been speaking to. It's a made up, throw away comment.

"Our players have been fantastic and I'm sure everyone is interested in good players, but I have had conversations with the main players in our squad and they are happy here and committed.

"I cannot imagine any of those players pushing to leave here. People seem to think of us as a selling club, but we are not and do not have to be.

"We are an established Premier League club, we are a club that makes a profit and operates in the black."
