Renato Sanches trains with Swansea team-mates as Paul Clement prepares to chuck young star straight in for his debut against Newcastle

Renato Sanches trained with his new Swansea colleagues ahead of a potential Premier League debut on Sunday against Newcastle.

Swansea pulled off one of the transfer shocks of summer by landing the Euro 2016 winner on a season-long loan from the Bundesliga champions on deadline day.

Sanches, who Bayern signed from Benfica for €35million (£31m) after the Euros, joined Paul Clement's side on loan after making just 26 appearances at the Allianz Arena last season.

Training alongside fellow new - albeit more south Wales-familiar - arrival Wilfried Bony and the rest of the Swans squad, Sanches appeared focused as he was put through his paces by Clement.

The Liberty Stadium boss says the young Portuguese star must merit his Swansea place. Clement revealed there is no deal with Bayern to guarantee Sanches game time. 

'I was delighted to get [the Sanches deal] over the over the line,' said Clement. 'There are no guarantees that Renato has to play - and Bayern are of the same view. He has to merit getting in to the side. That is how it should be.

'I am happy with that arrangement, but at the same time I have brought him here to contribute.'

Clement also said that Sanches was fit enough to play against Newcastle on Sunday

Clement confirmed that Sanches will be involved against Newcastle but, while he is set to start, fellow deadline-day signing Wilfried Bony is likely to be on the bench.

'We'll check Renato over when he comes in, but I have no reason to believe there are any problems,' Clement said.

'He played 70 minutes the other night for Portugal Under 21s and when I knew him at Bayern he was always in good physical shape.

'The decision in him coming here was that he could possibly go to another big European club and end up in the same situation where he is playing 40 or 50 per cent of the games. So we all came to the decision that this would be a good destination for him.

'But he's still a young player so we have to be careful not to put loads of pressure and expectation on him. He is a foreign player coming to a new league and this is a very demanding league.'
