Swansea skipper prepared to leave on free transfer

Ashley Williams is prepared to run his Swansea City contract down and leave on a free transfer if the club will not countenance reasonable offers of around £3m for him this summer, after talks regarding new terms stalled, reports The Guardian. The 29-year-old has a year left on his current deal and has become bemused at the lack of progress in agreeing an extension to his six years at the Swans.

Williams is wanted by Napoli and Lille, while five Premier League clubs are also looking at him.

Last year Arsenal were interested in buying Williams but balked at the prospective fee, with Swansea having valued him in the region of £10m.
