Wales international David Cotterill is hoping to make an immediate impact for Swansea after completing his loan switch from Sheffield United.

The 21-year-old will join the Championship outfit until January - when he is expected to sign a three-year contract at the Liberty Stadium.

The winger has fallen out of favour at Bramall Lane and believes he has made the right choice in moving to the Welsh club.

"Swansea are probably the best footballing side in the Championship but they can also grind out a result as well if they have to," said Cotterill.

"I watched them on Friday night against Derby and I was very impressed. Swansea passed it around for fun and Derby didn't get a kick - they murdered them.

"They are playing attractive football at the moment and getting some great results. Hopefully I can fit into that straight away.

"I need to play and I like what I hear about Swansea and their ambition. They are in the play-off places at the moment and the way they are playing, then anything can happen."
