Carlos Carvalhal starts his Swansea stewardship determined to resurrect the career of countryman Renato Sanches.

Portugal star Sanches has looked a lost soul since making his surprise season-long loan move from Bayern Munich in August, failing to score or provide an assist in 11 Swansea appearances.

He has not started a game since November 29, when he was ridiculed for passing a ball into an advertising hoarding at Chelsea with no Swans player in close attendance.

But Carvalhal believes Sanches - who was named the best young player at Euro 2016 and cost Bayern 35 million euros when he joined them from Benfica after Portugal had won that tournament - will prove himself at Swansea under his management.
