Swansea captain Williams unsure of maintaining lofty table position

Swansea City captain Ashley Williams is unsure if they can maintain their current pace.

Williams admits he is unsure whether Swansea can sustain a top-five position and he is just focusing on having a strong season.

"We haven't put a target on it to be in the top whatever, we just want a good season." Williams said.

"There will be a couple of teams who will break into the top eight and I definitely want to see where we can go.

"I'm 30 and I don't want to waste another season. I loved playing in the Europa League last season because I never thought in my career I would have the chance to play in Europe but to me it felt like a wasted season.

"We were trying to stay up and it's not what we're used to here, it's not what the club or the city's about.

"We don't just want to stay in the Premier League as we've been here for a number of years.

"We feel we've got the quality and work ethic to be in the top half at least and we're not here to just try and survive."
