Ki Sung-Yueng joined Swansea yesterday after the Premier League club agreed to pay Scottish champions Celtic an undisclosed club-record fee for the South Korea midfielder.
Ki has agreed a three-year contract and will now wait for a work permit and international clearance before officially joining up with his new team-mates at the Liberty Stadium.
The 23-year-old, reported to have cost £6 million, won’t be available for today’s match against West Ham and he admits he can’t wait to eventually get his first taste of Premier League action after watching the English top-flight as a young boy.
“This is something I have dreamed about since I was a child – playing in the Premier League against the best players in the world. I can’t wait to play my first game,” Ki told Swansea’s website.
