Swansea boss Monk excited by Montero potential

Swansea City boss Garry Monk is excited by what new signing Jefferson Montero can offer.

Montero started in Swansea's pre-season friendly at Exeter and put in an excellent showing in the 2-0 win over the League Two Grecians. It was a performance which left his watching new manager greatly impressed.

"I think Jefferson showed glimpses in that opening 45 minutes at Exeter of what he can do. He's great," said Monk to WalesOnline.

"Pace always hurts teams. Anyone who's quick and has got half a brain about them can cause people problems.

"Jefferson's got very good pace and quality about him as well. And for a player who's so young, he's got experience as well. The World Cup's been a great experience for him. If he can bring the momentum he's got from that into the Premier League it'll be great."
