MICHAEL Laudrup reckons Jazz Richards could mature into a Premier League favourite at Swansea City.
Utility man Richards is currently on loan at Crystal Palace, but has ended any doubts over his Liberty future by signing a new three-year deal.
And though he feels Richards more time to develop, Laudrup believes the 21-year-old has the tools required to develop into a top-flight performer.
"Maybe Jazz isn't good enough to play in the Premier League at the moment, but maybe with another one or two years' experience he can come back and do well for us," Laudrup said.
"He is a young player with potential, and that's why he has got a new contract.
"He is now out playing regularly and I think that's very important to help him develop."
