Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton has claimed that the team will benefit from facing Napoli in the last 32 of the Europa League.

The first leg of the tie takes place at the Liberty Stadium on Thursday evening, and Britton believes that Swansea will gain plenty of knowledge from the clash with the Italian side.

"It's probably the most difficult game we could have had, but it's one we're looking forward to," the 32-year-old admitted at the pre-game press conference.

"Gaining the experience of playing against foreign teams with different styles and methods will benefit us a lot.

"Italian teams are renowned for being very tactical and defensively strong, but hopefully we can take a good result to Naples."

Swansea manager Garry Monk has suggested that his side can surprise Napoli over two legs.
