Laudrup: 'I share Swansea's philosophy'

New Swansea coach Michael Laudrup believes that he can take Swansea forward in the Premier League as they both "share the same philosophy".

The Dane joined the Welsh side from Mallorca and replaces Brendan Rodgers, who has taken over at Liverpool.

"I'm very happy to be here, it will be a great challenge and I'm looking forward to it," said Laudrup. "They've tried to have a philosophy that is in line with my way of seeing football.

"We spoke a couple of weeks ago and I had to think about it because I had to do some research and I'm always moving countries.

"The people I talked to were very positive and they told me it was a good club and it would be a good job for me."

When asked about the future of attacking midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, Laudrup remaind realistic about the chances of keeping him at the Liberty Stadium.

"Sigurdson was on loan here and did very well, he is owned by a German club and he is a special case. I would like him to stay but bigger clubs with more money might mean that we can't compete so we have to consider a lot of things."

Both Laudrup and Jenkins were also coy when asked about spending money for the summer.

"I have my ideas and I have spoken with the chairman already and I have to do more research as to what we need but to sign 7 or 8 players before the start of the seasons doesn't make sense," said Laudrup.

"It's a little early to set a target for the season as it hasn't started yet so let's wait to see what happens, who stays and who goes. They had a great first season in the Premier League so let's see what happens."

Swansea City kick off their season away to QPR.
