Swansea manager Garry Monk has publicly shown his belief that Lukasz Fabianski, who has had an impressive first campaign with the Swans, to ignore transfer rumours linking the Polish goalkeeper with a move away from the Premier League this summer.
Fabianski has enjoyed an impressive campaign following his switch from FA Cup winners Arsenal last year, where he played an integral part in helping the Gunners get to the final itself, after making a few crucial penalty saves in their nervy penalty-kick victory over Wigan Athletic in the semis. He cited wanting to play regular first-team football as his main reason for leaving north London last term, and he's proven himself to be the Swans' first-choice in-between the sticks following Michel Vorm's surprise move to Tottenham in the same window.
If he keeps a clean sheet against Crystal Palace on Sunday, he could win the Premier League's Golden Glove award for the most clean sheets recorded in a season, and unsurprisingly, his form has alerted a number of European clubs, including Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, who are reportedly looking for a replacement for experienced Roman Weidenfeller, who has been awfully inconsistent this season.
Monk had this to say, as quoted by Sky Sports: "We can easily keep him here, he's a Swansea City player and very committed to this club. We've given him a great opportunity which he wanted, he's fought for this chance and deserved it. He's earned the right to have that opportunity, but players see the club going forward and they sense it every day. There's no reason to move and the conversations I've had with them [the players] tells me they are very much looking forward to next season."
Whether his agents are discussing, or trying to discuss, with the club I'm not sure what level that's at. It's a possibility his agents have made contact with the club but I'm unaware of it. We'll see in the future about the negotiations but the reward will come if the club sees fit and I'll have those conversations with the chairman. There's an element that these players are lucky to play for this club and the level that they are. They've got a great platform at a club which is progressive and to be in a team that has done remarkably well this season. It's about them fighting for that opportunity as well, so it's a two-way thing, and it's important they show loyalty."
