Martin Olsson has revealed that his teammate Fernando Llorente's performances not only put the fear into other Premier League teams, but into the Swansea defence as well, via theDaily Star.
Llorente has been answering fans prayers recently with a string of good contributions most recently with his double strike at home to Burnley on the weekend.
The win pulled the Welsh side five points clear of the relegation zone and fans are now starting to believe the team has done enough to stay in the English top flight.
Talking about the striker Olsson said: What Fernando is doing is fantastic. He is exactly what we need. If we can't put the ball on the ground, we can look to put the ball in to him and he is always there.
He is the same in training, he wins absolutely everything in the air. He is a nightmare when we do attack against defence.
All the lads try to avoid him. We try and elbow him a bit to put him off. However, he's a strong, strong guy and just gets on with it.
He might have been at big clubs before, but he's a really humble guy and he works so hard. The whole team's style of play suits him and that's been good for us.�
Having played for Juventus and Sevilla as well as winning a World Cup with Spain he could be the key for Swansea's revival, although Chelsea had shown a lot of interest in the January transfer window and the Swan's may have to fend off their advances at the end of the season.

Llorente put the homeside up just 13 minutes in, but Burnley equalised through a penalty from Andre Grey for a handball, although it was actually his teammate Sam Vokes who had caused the offence.
Grey later put Burnley ahead, but a powerful shot from Olsson and Llorente being strong in the air in injury time gifted all three points to Swansea.
Swans boss Paul Clement was furious at theobvious mistakeby referee Anthony Taylor, who had spent three days on a stag do in Marbella earlier in the week, and made another call for video technology to be introduced to the Premier League.
It has got to change. Other sports do it,� said Clement.
It has to happen, otherwise it is going to continue to cost teams.�
