Swansea City wrap up move for PSV winger Luciano Narsingh

New Swansea City manager Paul Clement has completed the signing of Netherlands international winger Luciano Narsingh from PSV Eindhoven for £4 million.

Narsingh, who has signed a two-and-half-year deal at the Liberty Stadium, said he believed the Swans could get clear of relegation danger.

And the 26-year-old told the club's official website that Netherlands colleague Leroy Fer had helped persuade him to make the move to Wales.

"I talked to Leroy before I came here and he told me it is a good club with great teammates and fantastic supporters," he said.

"I've looked at the Premier League for two or three years now, and Swansea always play good football.

"That's why when Swansea came in for me I knew I wanted to play here."

Narsingh said he was arriving in the Premier League at "a good age" and added: "I know the team is low down in the table, but we have the quality to move up.

"I believe in Swansea and that we will be alright, and I am looking forward to playing here. I hope to become an important player for the team."

Narsingh has scored four goals for Holland, including the match-winner in their 2-1 win over England at Wembley in March 2016.

"This is one of the best leagues, and if I play here and do well it is also good for the international team,'' said Narsingh.

"It is a big step up -- everybody says so who comes from the Eredivisie -- but I like a new challenge and I am going to work hard.

"It will be a battle [to stay in the Premier League], but I believe everything is going to be all right.

"That is why I came because I have the belief in this team.

"My agent talked with more clubs, but when Swansea came in I said to him I wanted to play here."

Last month, shortly before the sacking of Bob Bradley, sources told ESPN FC that the Swans were considering a move for Narsingh.

Sunderland, Burnley and West Brom had also been linked with him.

Press Association was used in this report.
