"I have settled well. I knew a few of the boys before I got here. I knew the manager from before, too, so it has been good to get to know everyone," Olsson told British media.

Olsson scored his first goal for the Welsh club in Sunday's 2-0 win over relegation rivals Leicester City at the Liberty Stadium.

"Of course when you come in during January it makes it a little bit more difficult as you do not have much time to adjust before getting straight into it," the 28-year-old Swede said.

"But as soon as I got a few more games under my belt it has got better, and I hope it can keep getting better ... My fitness was good but a few more games gets you used to the intensity."

Swansea are 15th in the table, four points above the relegation zone after 25 games. They travel to face leaders Chelsea on Feb. 25.
