Swansea City’s Spanish sensation Michu has signed a contract
extension with the club that will keep him at the Liberty Stadium until 2016.
“It was an easy decision for me,’’ Michu told
swanseacity.net. “I am living a dream here at Swansea. I’m probably enjoying my
football more than ever. It’s easy to play with this team and tonight [against
Chelsea in the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg, January 23] I have the
chance to reach the first final of my career.
“I’m really happy here in the city with the people, the club
and the fans. Everyone has been so nice to me since I arrived.
“I think the club are happy with me because they have given
me a new contract. I am certainly happy with the club.’’
The 26-year-old has hit the ground running in the Premier League,
netting a brace in the club’s 5-0 win at Queens Park Rangers on the opening day
of the season. He has gone on to bag 16 goals in 28 appearances since his £2.2m
move from Rayo Vellacano in July, leading Swans boss Michael Laudrup to hail
him as the “bargain of the season”.
Michu has this month been linked with a move away from south
Wales, with a return to Spain and Atletico Madrid mooted. But he has now
committed himself to the club, adding:
“I’ve read and listened to all the speculation, but it
doesn’t interest me, and that’s why I’ve signed a new contract. I’m enjoying
myself too much because the team always tries to play football. All I think
about is the next game and helping Swansea be successful. This is my life.”
