Fabianski signing the start of a big summer at Swansea - Monk

Swansea City manager Garry Monk is confident he can attract a number of new players to the club this summer.

The Swans have already signed goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski from Arsenal on a four-year deal and Monk is now targeting a few more fresh faces as he continues preparing for the 2014/15 Premier League season.

"I am excited about what we might be able to do this summer of course," Monk said in the South Wales Evening Post.

"I know how I want to do it. I know what players I want and I know what to say to people.

"We are not going to get every deal done, but that's part of the process - that's the way it works.

"But I think we have proved already that we can attract good players to the club by signing Lukasz Fabianski, and I am hopeful that we can get a few more."

Of the Welsh clubs ability to bring in new players, Monk added: "The attraction for them is the Premier League and the way Swansea City are as a club.

"We may not have a massive name, but football does the talking at the end of the day.

"I know the game inside out and it's up to me to show that I can get players to come here."
