Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins has admitted that they would not be spending big too frequently having signed Wilfried Bony for a club record transfer fee.

  • The Swans chairman expressed disapproval of spending big money on a single player and insisted that this won't happen frequently at the Liberty Stadium. The club spent close to £20 million this summer as they look to compete in Europe this season following the League Cup win last season.



    "This summer was the first time where we agreed to spend that money on one player, and personally I don't like the idea of doing it," he said at a Swansea fans' forum.



    "I don't think it's a great thing for our club to be doing season after season.



    "Yes, now and again for the right player at the right time, it might be an option. But I think we all know our level should be a bit below that.



    "We should be finding players who are suitable to us and who arrive for figures that are easier to sleep with.



    "Signing Wilfried Bony was a big thing for us, but I would not like to keep paying fees like that all the time."
