With the American now in charge, we take a look at three Swansea City players who could potentially benefit the most from this change in management.

Bob Bradley

A change in management, at any football club, always brings with it the possibility of a fresh start. Whether that be strikers suffering from goal droughts, midfielders out of form or goalkeepers conceding too many, the opportunity to impress and play for a new manager can often act as the spark some players need to get back into form. Here’s three Swansea City players we think could benefit the most from the arrival of Bob Bradley.

Ki Sung-Yueng

Formally one of Swansea’s most important players, the South Korean has struggled during his time under former manager, Francesco Guidolin. His ability to move the ball around quickly, and pick out a pass that most players wouldn’t see, could make him a prime candidate for a resurgence under Bob Bradley, and his hardworking attitude (a trait which has made him a popular figure amongst Swans fans) could be just the kind of character Bob Bradley is looking for.

Jack Cork

Swansea’s defensive midfielder won the hearts of fans last season which his hard-fought performances, but this season the former Southampton midfielder has struggled to have an impact on games. As a tough-tackling midfielder, with a fantastic ability and the stamina to out-run most Swansea players over 90 minutes, Jack Cork is likely to be key to a Bob Bradley side, as he loves to play hard-working central midfielders who can turn defence into attack.

Borja Baston

After an extremely successful loan spell with Spanish side Eibar last season, scoring 18 La Liga goals and picking up 4 assists, Borja Baston is a player that can score goals in a struggling side. However, the Spaniard has struggled to get going for Swansea so far this season, and this might have had something to do with the style of play he was forced to fit into under Guidolin. Bradley, who favours a more structured 4-4-2, could be the perfect man to start getting the most out of Borja, as he looks to provide him with some support up top.
