Ben Davies: 'Europa League exit can help Swansea City'

Swansea City defender Ben Davies believes that the team's recent exit from the Europa League can help their prospects in the Premier League.

Swansea City defender Ben Davies has claimed that the team's recent exit from the Europa League can help their Premier League prospects.

The Swans were knocked out in the last 32 of the competition on Thursday as they went down 3-1 on aggregate to Napoli.

Despite the disappointment of not progressing in Europe, Davies believes that the team can now turn their attention to climbing up the league table.

Swansea are currently in 14th place in the standings, five points above the relegation zone.

"We're all a bit disappointed the Europa League has ended, but on the other hand it does give us that chance to concentrate fully on the league so we can look at it both ways," Davies told the South Wales Evening Post.

"There are less games and they're all in the league, so we have to concentrate on them."

Swansea continue their Premier League campaign on Saturday with a trip to Arsenal.
