Ki Sung-yueng has put contract talks on hold to focus on Swansea's fight for Premier League survival.

The South Korean midfielder, whose deal expires next summer, was an influential figure as Swansea ended a two-month wait for a victory with a 1-0 home win over West Brom.

Wilfried Bony's late strike took Swansea off the bottom at the expense of Crystal Palace, and Ki believes that can provide the foundation to start climbing the table with talks over a new personal contract on the back-burner.

'We have not talked with the club, we just want to focus on these games,' said Ki, who has made 140 appearances in five years at Swansea and is able to talk to potential suitors from next month.
