Swansea boss Garry Monk is confident Lukasz Fabianski will stay at the club despite being linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund.

Fabianski has enjoyed a positive first season with the Swans after leaving Arsenal on a free transfer, and he could win the Premier League's Golden Glove award at Crystal Palace on Sunday.

His form has alerted a number of clubs, with the Bundesliga side among them, but Monk says the Poland international is happy in South Wales.

"We can easily keep him here," Monk said. "He's a Swansea City player and very committed to this club.

"We've given him a great opportunity which he wanted, he's fought for this chance and deserved it.

"He's earned the right to have that opportunity, but players see the club going forward and they sense it every day.

"There's no reason to move and the conversations I've had with them tells me they are very much looking forward to next season."

It has been reported that Fabianski's representatives have already held talks with Swansea over new terms but Monk said he was "unaware" this was the case, with the player still having three years to run on the deal he signed last summer.

"Whether his agents are discussing, or trying to discuss, with the club I'm not sure what level that's at," Monk added. "It's a possibility his agents have made contact with the club but I'm unaware of it.

"We'll see in the future about the negotiations but the reward will come if the club sees fit and I'll have those conversations with the chairman.

"There's an element that these players are lucky to play for this club and the level that they are. They've got a great platform at a club which is progressive and to be in a team that has done remarkably well this season.

"It's about them fighting for that opportunity as well, so it's a two-way thing, and it's important they show loyalty."
