Angel Rangel has stressed the importance of Swansea City keeping hold of Michu.

The Spanish attacker, who joined the Swans for just £2m from Rayo Vallecano during the summer, has earned a number of plaudits for his performances, that have seen him become the division's joint leading goalscorer.

With that in mind, Rangel believes that his fellow Spaniard has made himself a vital member of the squad.

"That's something the club has to consider and he is a player we can't afford to lose," Rangel told BBC Sport. "Hopefully he will stay here for a long time and we can have good success."

Sports Mole has complied a list of five La Liga-based players that could go on to have a similar impact in the Premier League as Michu.
