Guidolin thanks Swansea board for backing

Francesco Guidolin spoke of "solidarity in the dressing room" when assessing Swansea City's transfer activity.

Swansea City manager Francesco Guidolin is confident that the club's six new signings will enable the club to progress in the Premier League this season.

Borja Gonzalez became the club's record signing when he joined from Atletico Madrid for £15.5 million, and Swansea also spent a reported £4.8m on Leroy Fer.

The arrival of Mike van der Hoorn and Alfie Mawson has given Guidolin additional strength in defence, while goalkeeper Mark Birighitti and midfielder George Byers were also signed on free transfers.
