Everton remain confident of landing Swansea City midfielder
Gylfi Sigurdsson, despite seeing a second bid of around £45 million rejected,
according to the Liverpool
Echo.
The Toffees are aggressively pursuing the Icelandic playmaker
thanks to a cash influx from selling Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, but
the Welsh club are determined to hold out for £50 million for their star man.
The 27-year-old was not included in Swansea’s squad for the
tour of America and has been training with the club’s under-23s squad because
he is not in the “right frame of mind.”
Sigurdsson has reportedly informed the club of his desire to
join Ronald Koeman’s side and it’s increasingly looking like his second
departure from the club (he left for Tottenham Hotspur in 2012) is a matter of
when, not if.
Discussion over the player’s future are thought to be a major
priority for Swansea this week after they returned to pre-season on Wednesday.
It remains to be seen whether Swansea boss Paul Clement includes Sigurdsson for
the club’s friendly against Birmingham City on Saturday.
