New recruit Nunes finding his feet at Swansea

Vitor Matos says new recruit Gustavo Nunes is finding his feet at Swansea City as the winger bids for a start at Watford on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Nunes made his Swansea debut as a second-half substitute at Hull City last weekend after joining on loan from Brentford.

That was a first league appearance this season for the 20-year-old, who has dropped down to the Championship in search of regular football.

Matos is excited by the blend of trickery and pace Nunes offers – and says the Brazilian is "settling" in south Wales.

"I am really happy with him," Matos said.

"He's a player who has not had much game-time and that's something that we need to keep in consideration.

"But he's training really well, made his debut, came on and had one or two really interesting moments as we all saw.

"He's getting the right adaptation with the team and [we will] use him the best we can."

Swansea have lost Zeidane Inoussa to a long-term injury, while fellow winger Manuel Benson's disappointing loan spell was cut short on Thursday.

But Matos believes Nunes, who can operate on either flank, will offer Swansea the options they need out wide for the rest of the season alongside Ronald and Eom Jisung.
