Swansea captain Leon Britton has revealed that Gylfi Sigurdsson will likely join Everton in the near future.
The 27-year-old Sigurdsson has been strongly linked with a move to Goodison Park as Ronald Koeman looks to build a team that can challenge for a top four finish.
Sigurdsson played a big role in helping the Swans avoid relegation from the Premier League and at 27, he will feel that now is the right time for him to be playing for a club that can offer him the chance to play in European football.
As a result, a move for the midfielder to Everton is very much on the cards and Britton confirmed this by saying, “His stats last year in terms of assists and goals, you’d think he be playing for one of the club in the top half of the table.
“He’s a big influence in the top end of the pitch for us, but unfortunately the club we’re at, Swansea, when the bigger teams come calling it is hard to keep him.
“The club have stood firm. By all accounts they’ve said they want £50million. I don’t know if it’s going to get done. I think Everton have maybe offered £40-45m so I think there’ll be some movement now and Gylfi will go.”
