Roberto Martinez says that he is happy with the goalkeeping situation at the Liberty

The Swansea City manager says he will not be moving to replace Dimi - who has joined Cardiff City - despite having only David Cornell as back up should Dorus get injured at any stage.

Martinez told the Evening Post "We wanted Dimi to stay with us, but we are not looking for anyone to replace him,

"David Cornell is back in training after a long-term injury. He has worked with us for around 10 sessions and he looks very strong.

"He has a great frame and has been working with (goalkeeping coach) Inaki Bergara for a very long time.

"We have been impressed with David's progression and we feel he is ready to push into the first-team squad now.

"He has been frustrated with that but he has worked hard in the gym and his body is filling out," Martinez added.

"I think that without a doubt he is a player who will make it through to the senior ranks

and I am more than happy to work with David and Dorus.

"We are trying to finalise things with Dorus as quickly as possible.

"His agent is in Holland so sometimes it is a bit difficult to get together, but it's just a matter of sitting down and hopefully finalising things."
