​Swansea determined to keep Everton target Sigurdsson

Swansea neither want nor need to sell Gylfi Sigurdsson this summer, according to their majority shareholder Steve Kaplan.

"We all know how important Gylfi is, just as he knows how much he's valued and loved here," the American told Wales Online after meeting with Sigurdsson at the weekend.

"There's been interest in him before - there were some pretty big enquiries about him last summer and in the January window - but we didn't want to sell him then and we don't want to sell him now.

"And neither do we need to sell him. He has three years on his contract and he's part of our plans going forward under Paul Clement.

"Our aims are to make sure that we build on the successful end to the season and that doesn't include selling our best players."
