Former Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has admitted that he is pleased to see the club doing well under his successor Garry Monk.

The Swans currently lie in eighth place in the Premier League and are on course for their best finish and points haul in the top flight.

"They have changed a little, a lot of the players I brought are not there anymore and their style has changed a little," Laudrup told the official FIFA website.

"They have had a very good season in the Premier League. I have to say I am happy for that."

Laudrup, who guided Swansea to League Cup glory during his tenure, recently won the Qatari league with current club Lekhwiya.
