Monk penned a three-year deal with Swansea last month after guiding the club to Premier League safety following the departure of Michael Laudrup in February.
The 35-year-old has wasted little time in beginning the process of reshaping his squad since the end of the campaign, having already overseen a deal to sign goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski from Arsenal as well as the departures of a number of out-of-contract players.
"I am excited about what we may able to do this summer of course," he told the South Wales Evening Post.
"I know how I want to do it. I know what players I want and I know what to say to people.
"We are not going to get every deal done, but that's part of the process - that's the way it works.
"But I think we have already proved we can attract good players to the club by signing Lukasz Fabianski, and I am hopeful that we can get a few more."
Due to Monk's lack of gravitas in the game when compared to his predecessor, it has been suggested in some quarters that he may struggle to attract high-quality players to south Wales.
"The attraction for them is the Premier League and the way Swansea City are as a club," Monk added.
"We may not be a massive name, but football does the talking at the end of the day.
"I know the game inside out and it's up to me to show that I can get players to come here."
