Swansea City strong despite departures - Fer

Leroy Fer believes Swansea are strong enough to cope without Ashley Williams, Andre Ayew and Bafetimbi Gomis this season.

Swansea midfielder Leroy Fer remains confident of his side's chances of a successful season despite losing a number of key players in recent months.

Ashley Williams joined Everton for £12 million before the season began, while Andre Ayew moved to West Ham and Bafetimbi Gomis signed for Marseille but Fer, who made his loan move from QPR permanent, is not expecting a relegation battle.

Swansea beat Burnley 1-0 in their opening fixture, but have since lost 2-0 to Hull City and 2-1 to Leicester City, leaving some to question whether Francesco Guidolin can improve on last season's 12th-place finish in the Premier League.
