Swansea skipper Williams: Sigurdsson offers us something different

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams hailed matchwinner Gylfi Sigurdsson after victory at Manchester United.

Sigurdsson had a loan spell at Swansea two years ago, but made the permanent move to the Liberty Stadium this summer, and Williams insists the return of the Icelandic international is great news for the Swans.

"He could be massive for us and that is why the chairman paid so much money for him," said Williams to WalesOnline.

"He has that little bit of quality we need to go forward. He knows how much we want him here and he will have an impact on our season.

"He has come from a team where he was a squad player and he has come somewhere where he is wanted and we have made it clear to him how important he is going to be for us. He is a clever player with real quality."
