Ashley Williams believes that Swansea City have a 'footballing legend' at the club in new manager Michael Laudrup.

Ashley Williams has revealed that he has been impressed by new manager Michael Laudrup in pre-season training.

The former Danish international, who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid at club level, was appointed as the new Swans boss last month.

Williams, who is entering his sixth season with the Welsh side, believes that they now have a footballing "legend" in charge at the Liberty Stadium.

"The first impressions of the new manager have been good," he told the South Wales Evening Post. "He's a legend in world football - you only have to look at his Wikipedia page to see that!

"He's addressed the lads and he's obviously got our respect straightaway. Training was good and everybody's enjoyed it."

Swansea start the upcoming Premier League campaign at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, August 18.
