Swansea City boss Garry Monk is ready to give Bafetimbi Gomis his chance.

Gomis has been backed to fill the void left by Wilfried Bony's departure to the African Nations Cup.

"Bafe has been waiting for his chance to stake his claim," Monk said.

"It's been difficult but unfortunately for him Bony has been in good form in the first half of the season.

"I've tried to give him game-time but Bony's been scoring goals.

"I'm sure it's been in Bafe's mind that this chance has been coming up and I think you will see a real, real player in this period."
