Nathan Dyer has vowed to fight for his future at Swansea City after picking up a Premier League winner’s medal with Leicester.

The winger made 12 appearances as a sub for the Foxes last season as Claudio Ranieri’s side celebrated their stunning triumph.

But now he is back at the Liberty Stadium and determined to win back his first-team spot.

Dyer, 28, said: “It’s a bit crazy to say the least, going on loan and ending up with a Premier League medal.

“It was hard to take in. I was glad to play my part in history.

“But I am back now and I want to break into the team.

“Swansea is the club I have been at for many years. It’s my home and I don’t want to leave – that’s a no-brainer for me.

“It’s about making sure the manager sees my dedication on the pitch and in training to force my way into his plans.”

Dyer was allowed to go out on loan last September by former boss Garry Monk but there was no recall option when Guidolin took over.

But Dyer reckons the spell away has improved him as a player and hopes the Swans can stun the Premier League just like Leicester did.

He added: “I was used to the Swansea style, but I’ve now sampled a completely different style – it was more direct at Leicester.

“You have to adapt and learn that style, and that can add something to your
game.”

“The main things we had at Leicester were unity and belief.

“When we went into games, it wasn’t a case of ‘how do we stop them from winning?’, it was ‘how do we win the game?’.
“There was no feeling of ‘let’s sit back and be solid’, we went all-out attack and I think that caught a few teams off guard, especially the big clubs.

“And the players were so close. The squad was so close-knit – hopefully we can be that way at Swansea this year.”
