Williams set to stay at Swansea

Swansea defender Ashley Williams insists he has no plans of leaving the Liberty Stadium in summer.

The 28-year-old Wales international has been linked with a move away from Swansea, with Arsenal considered the most likely destination. However Williams’ agent has ruled out the possibility of joining the Gunners by stating Williams is happy to stay at the club.

He said: “What I can say is that my player has got no desire to leave Swansea City Football Club. There have been stories linking Ash but his situation now is no different from his situation over the past few years. Ash has always remained a Swansea City player. He is happy there, his family are there with him and he is playing better than ever because Swansea have given him a platform.”

“He has been captain for much of this season and he thrives on that responsibility. If he is drawing the attention of the big boys then that is a good thing, because it shows he is developing and Swansea are developing. But he has never knocked on the chairman’s door and said he wants to leave and he has never handed in a transfer request,” he added.
