Swansea starlet Alfie Mawson rejects 'new Ashley Williams' tag and reveals story behind 'Alfie Shuffle' celebration

The Swansea starlet whose volley stunned Leicester on Sunday insists it is wrong to say he is the next Ashley Williams – because he is simply the first Alfie Mawson.

Mawson, 23, signed for Swansea in a £5.5million deal shortly after Williams left for Everton in the summer.

The centre-back helped his club to a crucial win in their fight for survival on Sunday by scoring the opening goal against the Premier League champions and is starting to feel at home.
