Spanish star Michu revealed his happiness at Swansea

Michu has notched 19 goals in 36 appearances this season for Swansea since signing from Rayo Vallecano last summer, helping the Swans to lift the Capital One Cup last month.

While the 27-year-old was predominantly an attacking midfielder in his homeland, Swansea manager Michael Laudrup has converted him into more of an out-and-out striker.

"Playing alongside Leon Britton, Jonathan de Guzman, Wayne Routledge, Nathan Dyer and Pablo Hernandez is good for me also."
