Swansea sign Dutch winger Narsingh
Jan 12, 2017 - 5:30 PM English Premier League club Swansea have signed Holland winger Luciano Narsingh from PSV Eindhoven for GBP4million ($A6.5 million).The 26-year-old becomes Paul Clement's first signing at Swansea, having been a target for former manager Bob Bradley.
Narsingh's two-and-a-half-year deal was announced on the official Swansea website.
"It took me two minutes to decide to come here," the 16-times capped Narsingh told Press Association Sport.
"It is a dream to come true playing in the Premier League, playing for a big club like Swansea - it was not difficult to think about it.
"PSV was good for me, but I think it was time to leave.
"We were two-times champions and it is good now to get the chance to play in the Premier League."
Formerly part of the renowned Ajax Amsterdam youth set-up, Narsingh joined fellow Eredivisie outfit Heerenveen at the age of 18.
He moved to PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2012 and went on to play more than 100 times for Phillip Cocu's side, scoring 23 goals and helping them win Eredivisie titles in 2015 and 2016.
Narsingh made his Holland debut in May 2012 and was a member of the Dutch squad at Euro 2012.
But he had to drop out of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil through injury and was replaced by current Swansea team-mate Leroy Fer.
Narsingh has scored four goals for Holland, including the match-winner in their 2-1 win over England at Wembley in March 2016.
