Swansea defender Rangel full of praise for Amat

Swansea City defender Angel Rangel is full of praise for young stopper Jordi Amat.

The 21-year-old formed an all-Spanish centre-back pairing with Chico Flores against Southampton on Sunday and Rangel believes Amat has potential.

"I thought Jordi played well. He has been playing for the last few games and he's shown that even at his age that he's a top player," he said.

"He's not as strong as Ashley and his leadership is probably missing a little bit.

"But one is 29 and one is 21. You can't blame Jordi for anything because he has fitted in so well."
