Swansea midfielder Leon Britton has paid tribute to the impact made by manager Paulo Sousa since he arrived at the club in the summer.

Sousa arrived at the Liberty Stadium in June following Roberto Martinez's appointment as Wigan boss.

A lengthy injury list made for a difficult start for the former Portugal midfielder, but the 39-year-old has stamped his mark on his new side and masterminded a nine-match unbeaten run in the Championship.

Britton has been hugely impressed by Sousa and has been tapping into the experience of his new manager, a two-time Champions League winner who amassed 51 caps for his country.

Britton told Press Association Sport: "The new manager has done very well. He works so hard on the training ground, he takes the training sessions every day. He works hard on set-pieces and shows great attention to detail.

"He was a top, top player and to have someone with that experience, who can pass on his personal experiences as a midfielder at the highest level is brilliant. He has been there, done it and bought the t-shirt."
