Williams admits Swansea pal Davies would be ideal for Spurs

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams says teammate Ben Davies would fit in well at Tottenham.

The left-back is the subject of a bid from Spurs.

"He would fit in well there without doubt," Williams told the South Wales Evening Post. "If he does not go now and we don't make it to the top then he will leave at some point because he deserves to be at the top of the league. We will see how it pans out.

"Tottenham are a big club, they are not a small team, and if he wants that then brilliant, and I would back him all the way.

"I have seen him grow, we know he is a mature, sensible lad and he will do what is best for him. I will try to advise him, but I would not tell him to stay because I want him to stay.

"That might not be best for him. I don't know what he is thinking, I would like to have that conversation with him," he added.

"Obviously we want our best players and I would be over the moon if he were to decide to stay. If he feels he needs to go and the club think it is right then that is how it will go.

"I have not had the chance to chat with him, but obviously I am close to Ben, we have played a lot together and get on well."
