Van Der Gun Hoping For Good Season

Cedric Van Der Gun is ready for the challenge at Swansea under new boss Brendan Rodgers

The Swansea City midfielder is prepared to take up the option of a second year at the club and hopes for better things this time around as the Swans prepare for a new season under yet another new manager however he is yet to sign that deal and can still leave the club on a free if he so chooses

"I enjoyed my last year, played some good football, but I think I can do a lot better," Van der Gun told BBC Sport.

"We had a good season, a lot of points, but we didn't score a lot of goals. Defensively we were really good, offensively we didn't score a lot of goals.

"So I felt really good playing my football but I was a little bit disappointed with my own individual performance because I know I can do a lot better.

"I have played - especially in Holland - the last couple of years really well, so... from this year, offensively I want to do a lot more than I did last year.

"Maybe he wants to wait to see a couple of training sessions, a couple of games, maybe in the next few days he'll come to me and we'll have a talk," Van der Gun said.

"Of course you always want to know what's going to happen, so we'll see.

"My situation is I have a contract for another year but I can leave transfer-free, it was a deal I had with the chairman [Huw Jenkins].

"So we have to wait and see, especially with the new manager coming in, what their expectations are for me this season. When I find out we'll see what's going to happen."
