Swansea City says the club will “not be bullied” and issued a “tapping up” warning to Everton over Gylfi Sigurdsson.
The Merseyside club are keen on securing the services of the midfielder, who moved to the Liberty Stadium from Tottenham Hotspur in 2014. He has established himself as a key figure at Swansea since arriving in Wales.
Sigurdsson’s impressive display last season has seen him attract interest from Leicester City and Ronald Koeman’s side, according to the Liverpool Echo. The Foxes’ £40 million has already been rejected by Swansea.
The Icelandic international decided against travelling with his current employers to the United States for the pre-season tour.
