Wales coach Chris Coleman has told Swansea City captain Ashley Williams to forget about a move to Everton.
Williams, 31, will be the subject of £12million bid by Roberto Martinez's men before Tuesday's transfer deadline - if the Toffees lose John Stones to Chelsea.
"I know Everton have a great history and, no disrespect to them, but are they better than Swansea right now? For me, Ashley is a top-four club player.
"He loves it at Swansea but, like anybody else, if a club who can win the league and are in the Champions League came in for him, it would be very hard to turn down."
