Despite a difficult second loan spell at the club,  Mykola Kukharevych says he has always felt part of the team and says he wants to give as much as he can before returning to Swansea in the summer. 

Speaking after scoring his seventh goal of the season, the Ukrainian forward expressed how much Europe would mean to the players.

“Obviously, it’s incredible, I think for every club who can express themselves in the European arena, this is massive for everyone, everyone wants it,” said Kukharevych.

Having played for Hibs before signing for Swansea, the capital has played an important role in his development despite the injuries that have disrupted his season, missing ten consecutive games between December and January.

“I felt always like part of the team, it doesn’t matter, everyone I think feels part of the team. Sometimes someone comes and doesn’t play or someone has an injury,  but they can come back and they can make a difference,” said the 6″4″ striker. 

“I understand the club gave me a lot, I can showcase myself in Europe here and I really appreciate it. Now I want to give something back to the club,” he said before later adding “I’m really happy I just fell in love with this club, because it’s a massive club, good city and a very good stadium thanks to the fans.”

However when asked, Kukharevych was coy about his future when his loan ends in just a few weeks. 

“Obviously, I don’t think a lot about that, my focus is on this last game and to achieve as much as possible and after I take my holidays, we’ll see.”
