Swansea manager Carlos Carvalhal has admitted he expects Alfie Mawson to stay at the Liberty Stadium despite interest from a host of Premier League clubs.
The 52-year old surprisingly took charge of the Premier League's basement club despite being sacked by Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday after a poor start to the season.
As reported by Sky Sports, Carvalhal has revealed ahead of the Swans trip to St James' Park on Saturday that the board have given him assurances that key players will not be allowed to leave.
"When I signed it was very clear that we would try and bring in players to improve the team, and will not sell the best players in January.
