Premier League: Swansea complete signing of Dutch midfielder Leroy Fer from QPR

Hopefully some new strong players (will) come in to help us. “It makes it easier for me as well, if a coach wants you. (Guidolin) was surprised (at my ability), he said.” The 26-year-old was relegated from the Premier League at both Carrow Road and Loftus Road, but last season he helped Swansea recover from a poor start to the campaign to secure safety. He scored eight goals in 50 QPR appearances, and has played for the Netherlands 11 times.
