Swansea boss Monk excited about new signing Eder

Swansea City boss Garry Monk is delighted with their swoop for SC Braga striker Eder.

Eder becomes the fourth summer signing following the acquisitions of Andre Ayew, Franck Tabanou and Kristoffer Nordfeldt.

“Eder is the type of striker we've been looking for. He has excellent attributes; strong, quick and technically sound with the ball," said Monk.

“He has a good pedigree and is a full international with Portugal. He fits our profile in terms of the players we've signed in the last two seasons because he's young, hungry and eager to prove himself in the Premier League.

“He has the characteristics we are looking for and will certainly add competition to the striking department.

“I'm looking forward to seeing him work alongside the likes of Bafe (Gomis) and Marvin (Emnes). And the fact that we've got him in early is a bonus."
