SWANSEA: Pablo Hernandez has completed a move to Swansea from Valencia for a fee in the region of £5.5 million.

The versatile winger can play in any attacking midfield role and joins the Swans as an immediate replacement for Scott Sinclair, who left for Manchester City for a fee of up to £8 million.

Hernandez made 45 appearances in all competitions for Valencia last season, scoring 5 goals, and has four Spain international caps.

"I am happy. It's my dream to play in the Premier League," Hernandez told Sky Sports.

He joins Jonathan de Guzman and compatriots Michu and Chico as manager Michael Laudrup's summer signings from Primera Liga, and is also joined in midfield by South Korea international Ki Sung-Yueng who completed his move from Celtic last week.

Danish legend Laudrup has had to reshape Swansea since replacing Brendan Rodgers, following the departures of key players Steven Caulker, Joe Allen, and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The Swans are having a bright start to the season by winning both their opening Premier League matches - scoring 8 goals and conceding none in the process.
