Swansea boss Monk tells Sunderland to forget about Ki

Swansea City boss Garry Monk doesn't want to see Ki Sung-Yueng sold.

The South Korea midfielder is currently on-loan at Sunderland.

Monk said: "Ki is a quality player. You can see the potential he has with what he has delivered for Sunderland this season.

"He has put in some great performances up there and he's been scoring goals, which has not been great for us.

"In a way it's good to see, but in another way you don't want to see it.

"I think Ki could potentially be a great player for Swansea, but of course we will have to see how he feels at the end of the season.

"I don't know if other clubs will be interested in him come the summer - all that will come out.

"But he is a Swansea player and he is the type you want at the club.

"We need to let players like Ki know how important they are going forward and I think he is.

"He might not have suited one manager, but it doesn't mean he won't suit the next manager. For me, I think he is a very good player who could play a key role for Swansea."
