Swansea City defender Alfie Mawson says he is happy to be a leader for the team after the departure of former club captain Ashley Williams.
The Swans signed Mawson from Barnsley and the 22-year-old kept a clean sheet on his first team debut in their goalless draw against Watford.
Wales skipper Williams, who played over 300 games during eight years at Swansea, joined Everton in the summer.
"I'd like to come in and have the same impact he had," Mawson said.
The former Barnsley centre back made 58 appearances for the Tykes last season and helped the club to the Football League Trophy and promotion to the Championship.
