Swansea City's Joel Piroe addresses transfer future and the unwavering confidence he has right now

Joel Piroe joined an illustrious group after scoring his 20th goal of the season against Derby County.

The Dutchman now features alongside Oli McBurnie, Wilfried Bony, Michu, Scott Sinclair, Jason Scotland and Lee Trundle on the list of players to hit 20 or more strikes in a single campaign for Swansea City since the club's stadium move in 2005.
