Swansea style is the Ki Sung-Yeung
KI SUNG-YEUNG has revealed how Swansea’s opening-day romp at QPR has influenced his decision to join Michael Laudrup’s side.
The South Korean is poised to become the Swans’ club-record signing in a £5million deal from Celtic.
Ki, who also attracted interest from Mark Hughes’ QPR, watched the stunning 5-0 victory at Loftus Road last
Saturday from his homeland on television.
And reports in Korea claim the 23-year-old has opted to move to the Liberty Stadium as a result of Swansea’s
five-star display in west London.
Ki’s representatives said:
“The match against QPR has influenced Ki.
"He was enthralled by Swansea’s football style that is focused on short passes.”

the men’s football at London 2012.

“We are currently holding discussions with the player and agent.”
