Highly rated South Korean midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng has become Swansea City’s record signing after putting pen to paper on a three-year deal from Celtic.

Ki, 23, will not be able to play for the Swans as they take on West Ham in today’s lunchtime kick off but he is clearly excited to have arrived.

"When I look at Swansea I see a club that is growing and growing, and the style here is very attractive to me," he told the club's official website.

"Last year I watched them a lot in the Premier League and they did things very differently to a lot of the other teams. They wanted to keep the ball and pass it around, which I love to do. When they didn't have the ball they worked so hard to get it back quickly.”

"This is something I have dreamt about since I was a child - playing in the Premier League against the best players in the world. I can't wait to play my first game."
