EVERTON are set to move again for Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Ronald Koeman is a big fan of the Iceland international and will revive his interest after the Toffees handed him a £50million war chest.
It may take over half that figure to tempt Swansea to do business, with the Welsh club having resisted interest over the summer and persuaded the player to pen a four-year deal.
Now, according to Wales Online, Everton and a host of other Prem clubs are poised to test the Swans’ resolve.
Sigurdsson has so far given no indication that he is unhappy at the Liberty Stadium.
