Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has hailed the market work of Swansea City boss Garry Monk.
Keown wrote in the Daily Mail: "Monk had been a player in that dressing room so he knew who he needed to keep and get rid of to restore harmony. Intelligent players know that. He also knew what a good signing and influence Gylfi Sigurdsson would be from his earlier spell at the club and made sure he brought him back.
"A manager from outside the club might not have thought of him but Sigurdsson has been superb. He is one of the most underrated players in the Premier League, Tottenham were wrong to let him go and not many in the league could hit a free kick with the accuracy he did against Arsenal.
"Monk has assembled a squad of match-winners: Batetimbi Gomis, Jefferson Montero and Modou Barrow are foreign signings who must have been expertly scouted and who look incredibly promising. It meant that even without three key men - Nathan Dyer, Wayne Routledge and Jonjo Shelvey - they could still beat Arsenal.
"To spot Montero among the stars at the World Cup was particularly impressive. He obviously sees something good in England Under 21 captain Tom Carroll too. The 22-year-old is on loan from Spurs and there aren't many midfielders of that age playing such a key role in our top flight."
