Cedric Van Der Gun is ready for the challenge at Swansea under new boss Brendan Rodgers

The Swansea City midfielder is prepared to take up the option of a second year at the club and hopes for better things this time around as the Swans prepare for a new season under yet another new manager however he is yet to sign that deal and can still leave the club on a free if he so chooses

"I enjoyed my last year, played some good football, but I think I can do a lot better," Van der Gun told BBC Sport.

"We had a good season, a lot of points, but we didn't score a lot of goals. Defensively we were really good, offensively we didn't score a lot of goals.

"So I felt really good playing my football but I was a little bit disappointed with my own individual performance because I know I can do a lot better.

"I have played - especially in Holland - the last couple of years really well, so... from this year, offensively I want to do a lot more than I did last year.

"Maybe he wants to wait to see a couple of training sessions, a couple of games, maybe in the next few days he'll come to me and we'll have a talk," Van der Gun said.

"Of course you always want to know what's going to happen, so we'll see.

"My situation is I have a contract for another year but I can leave transfer-free, it was a deal I had with the chairman [Huw Jenkins].

"So we have to wait and see, especially with the new manager coming in, what their expectations are for me this season. When I find out we'll see what's going to happen."
