Everton close in on centre-back

 

Everton are set to secure the services of Swansea centre-back Ashley Williams for £10m, reports the Sunday Mirror. 

 

The Toffees are keen to bring in a defender this summer with John Stones set to depart for Manchester City. 

 

Swansea will look to keep Williams at the Liberty Stadium, but are to plan for the upcoming campaign without their campaign after a fee was agreed between both teams. 

 

Ronald Koeman is looking to add experience to the side and Williams fits the bill perfectly after a superb Euro 2016 and Premier League season.

Indeed, the 31-year-old made more clearances (314) than any other player in England’s top tier last term.
