The Swansea defender has been linked with a move away from the Liberty Stadium all summer. First, a switch to Liverpool was on the cards and now the Gunners are chasing him.

Swans boss Michael Laudrup said last week he did not want to lose any players so close to the end of the transfer window.

And happily for the Danish coach Williams, who turned 29 on Friday, appears content with life in south Wales.

Ahead of their trip to Tottenham today, the centre-half said: “It doesn’t get in my mind as I’m used to all the speculation now.

“It’s gone on for so long. It’s there every other day so I don’t really pay it too much attention. I just come in and do my job for Swansea.

“Everyone enjoys playing in this team. You all get touches of the ball because that’s how we like to play. Nobody is in a rush to leave this club.”

Whether that situation changes depends on Arsene Wenger’s plans during the final nine days of the window.

But Williams does not expect to receive a call from anybody on or around deadline day – apart from his father!

The ex-Stockport star said: “I watch deadline day on TV and I always get a call off my dad saying, ‘I’m watching just to make sure you don’t leave’.

“As if I wouldn’t tell him before it’s on the telly!”

Williams is pleased that his compatriot, Wales and Spurs wonder Gareth Bale, will not be lining up against him this afternoon.

Bale looks set for a £85million move to Real Madrid – and Williams is delighted.

He said: “It’s good for ­us if Gareth doesn’t play because he is quality.

“If he does go to Madrid, I’m happy for him.

“He’s a great lad who deserves everything he gets. And it’s great for Welsh football too.”

One of Tottenham’s new signings, former Seville striker Roberto Soldado, has hit three goals in his first two matches for the north Londoners.

Williams said: “He has qualities but these players are the ones you want to play against. I want to stop him from scoring.”

Ex-Swansea striker Luke Moore has joined Turkish side Elazigspor on a free transfer.

Former West Brom man Moore, 27, who had ten months left at Swansea, was released from his contract early so that he could leave for nothing.
