Swansea boss Monk confident Gomis will hit goals trail

Swansea City boss Garry Monk is confident Bafetimbi Gomis will rediscover his scoring touch.

Gomis has not scored in the four league matches since Wilfried Bony's departure to Manchester City, but Monk feels the goals will flow as soon as the first one goes in.

"Bafe's probably trying too hard and once he gets that first goal he will fly," Monk said.

"Every striker needs it and I remember everyone was wondering when Bony came to the club whether he could do that because of Michu before.

"He went through seven, eight, nine games without really contributing a goal and people questioned Bony at that point.

"So it shows you how quickly football can turn, but Bafe's got all the attributes to do well."
