Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson has been discussing his links with Everton this summer.

The Iceland international, who had an excellent summer at the European Championships with his nation, was heavily linked with a move to Goodison Park to join the Ronald Koeman revolution.

It was reported by The Telegraph in July that Everton were ready to pay up to £25 million to snap up the Iceland star.

But whilst Everton succeeded in luring Ashley Williams from South Wales the Icelander stayed put.

Speaking to The Telegraph today he discussed this transfer rumour, suggesting he is more than happy where he currently is:

“You say you try not to pay too much attention but of course you are aware of what is going on. And your friends are asking you all the time: ‘Are you going to sign for Everton?’ But I’m really happy here.

“I’d been discussing a new contract with the club for quite a while. It got delayed because of the Americans coming in to take over. Once that was done, there was no reason why I would want to go.”

Everton of course were ambitious in the transfer market. As well as Williams they snapped up Yannick Bolasie and Idrissa Gana Gueye – whilst they nearly managed to sign Arsenal and Tottenham newbies Lucas Perez and Moussa Sissoko respectively.

But Sigurdsson was simply not going anywhere and proved just that by signing a new deal with the club at the start of August.

Now he will be focusing all his attention on keeping Swansea in the Premier League comfortably this season.
