Swansea City boss Garry Monk delighted with Franck Tabanou signing

Swansea City boss Garry Monk has revealed his elation with the signing of defender Franck Tabanou.

The 26-year-old signed a three-year deal with the Swans to move from Saint-Etienne for an undisclosed fee, and Monk feels that he has all the attributes to be a success in the Premier League.

He told the club's official website: "It's an excellent signing that I'm looking forward to working with individually and as part of the group.

"He is exactly the type of player we are looking for. He's young, talented and looking to make the next step up in his career.

"He has the right attributes to fit in here and increase the competition and quality in the squad. He's come from a good club and is an exciting talent that I'm sure the supporters will enjoy watching."

Swansea have signed Tabanou and Andre Ayew so far this summer.
