Swansea City's Garry Monk: "Eder is the type of striker we've been looking for"

Swansea City manager Garry Monk says that new signing Eder is the type of striker that the club have been searching for.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk has claimed that new signing Eder has all the attributes that the club were looking for in a new striker.

The Portugal international completed his move from Braga on Wednesday by signing a three-year contract.

"Eder is the type of striker we've been looking for. He has excellent attributes; strong, quick and technically sound with the ball," Monk told the club's official website. "He has a good pedigree and is a full international with Portugal.

"He fits our profile in terms of the players we've signed in the last two seasons because he's young, hungry and eager to prove himself in the Premier League. He has the characteristics we are looking for and will certainly add competition to the striking department."

Eder is thought to have cost the Premier League side a fee in the region of £5m.
