Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has hailed striker Michu for his work ethic.

The 26-year-old Spaniard, who has scored 14 goals in 21 Premier League appearances, failed to find the target in the Swans' goalless draw at Everton on Saturday.

"People have been talking about Michu as a goalscorer and also about his low cost," the Daily Mail quotes Laudrup as saying. "But he's not only a scorer - he's a hard worker as well.

"Here [against Everton] you did not see the scorer. You didn't see him just waiting for the chance to score.

"But you saw him dropping into midfield, working hard and that is another very important thing."

Michu joined Swansea from Rayo Vallecano for £2m last summer.
