New Swansea City manager Bob Bradley reveals that he will be involved in determining which players the club looks to sign.

Swansea City manager Bob Bradley has revealed that he will be involved in determining which players the club looks to sign.

Bradley's predecessor Francesco Guidolin was happy to leave control of recruitment to chairman Huw Jenkins before he was sacked and replaced by the former USA boss earlier this month.

However, Bradley plans to be more hands-on and revealed that he has already undergone talks with Jenkins over possible January targets.

"So far I haven't looked too far beyond Saturday but, yes, I did have some conversations with Huw Jenkins," Bradley told reporters.

"Now I've had a chance to speak with Dave Leadbeater (head of recruitment) and our scouts - so that's all establishing some start points.

"I will be a part of the process. I listen, I have suggestions, but most of the work so far has been digging my hands into the group here and getting to know them."

Bradley's first match as Swansea boss comes away to Arsenal on Saturday.
