# Three Swansea players to watch

Since Gary Monk took over as the manager of Swansea, they\
seem to improve every season because he gets the best out of the players he\
already has by utilising their talents and brings in smart reinforcements for\
the area’s that he is lacking. With that being said, here are some of the most\
dangerous players that United should keep their eye on.

**Bafetimbi Gomis**

When Wilfred Bony left Swansea for Man City, most thought\
goals would be hard to come by but Gomis has slotted perfecting into the team\
as the lone striker with a goal list as long as his dreadlocks. Already a\
proven forward in Ligue 1 scoring 145 goals in 398 appearance for Saint-Etienne\
and Lyon, the big Frenchman has already scored a goal in each one of Swansea’s\
opening games. Due to his size and strength, Gomis is so hard to push-off the\
ball as he is charging through defenders, he will be an interesting challenge\
for the improving Smalling and Blind partnership.

**Andre Ayew**

With the two Ayew brothers both coming to the Premier League\
but different teams, Swansea seems to have bagged the better one. Andre Ayew\
has hit the ground running bagging himself 2 goals and an assist in his opening\
three games. The young Ghanaian brings pace and creativity on the sides while\
still being able to dart in and be a potential goal threat with his small yet\
quick frame. Will be a handful for Darmian.

**Gylfi Sigurdsson**

The Icelandic playmaker is entering his fifth season in the\
Premier League. Despite playing 142 games Sigurdsson has only scored 29 goals,\
a goal nearly every five games but his real magic comes from his vision. Last\
season the tricky midfielder was ranked 4th in the league for most\
assists with 10. Now with the attacking talents Swansea has with Shelvey and\
Gomis and the pace on the wings with Montero and Ayew, Sigurdsson now has the\
tools to become ever more dangerous, one to keep an eye on.

Swansea host Manchester United on Sunday at 4pm with both teams hoping to continue their good starts to the season.
