Renato Sanches: I joined Swansea because of Clement

Renato Sanches admits the presence of Paul Clement convinced him about moving to Swansea City.

The 20-year-old worked with Paul Clement during his time at Bayern Munich - Sanches' parent club.

Sanches said: “Swansea was a club that showed a lot of interest in me and I was very happy about it although I had other clubs interested as well.

“But one of the reasons why I came here was the manager. I know the manager - I've worked with him for almost a year, and I am very happy to be here."

He added: “What I want to regain here is my confidence - to be a happy player and also to help the team maintain a good position in the table and to play, to help, be involved as much as possible, to become better and develop as a player, which is the most important thing.

"Not only me but the team as well - that is the most important thing."
