Swansea have roped in former Arsenal left-back Jernade Meade for a one-year deal after he spent nine years with the Gunners. BBC reports the 20-year-old Meade would be training with Swansea Under-21 before making it to the first-team squad.
"My aim is to start impressing in the Under-21s and hopefully give [manager] Michael Laudrup another option at left-back for the first team," said Meade. He [Laudrup] was a great player, and the chance to learn from him is a massive opportunity for me. And he is not afraid to give youngsters a chance to prove themselves either." added the English footballer.
Meade first officially played for Arsenal in the Capital One Cup game against Reading, which the Gunners won 7-5. "I've been at Arsenal since I was 11, so to come to Swansea was the perfect move for me in terms of style," said Meade.
"Swansea are a growing club and they've come from League Two by passing their way out of the divisions. I think everyone has been very impressed by what they have achieved in the Premier League, and it's great to be a part of the club."
