Swansea City insist they have “no desire” to cash in on Everton target Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The Blues are hoping to sign the Iceland international this summer after being knocked back last year.

But Swansea do not want to lose their star man and are ready to fend off interest from Everton to keep hold of the 27-year-old.

“I know Steve and Jason are keen to keep him,” Swansea’s chief operating officer Chris Pearlman told WalesOnline.

“My perspective is that I would love to get to a point where as a club we don’t even have to entertain having those types of conversations.

“We are not going to do a deal that is not good for the football club, so we do not want to sell him.

“There is absolutely no desire at all to sell Gylfi Sigurdsson.

“He is great for the club, such a hard worker, we all love watching him play and we want him here next year.

“He is a class act.”

Sigurdsson’s valuation has rocketed towards £40m after the Swans rejected an offer in the region of £35m in January from the Chinese Super League.
