Everton have a £10m bid for Wales skipper Ashley Williams accepted by Swansea City, according to a report.

Swansea City defender Ashley Williams will reportedly become Ronald Koeman's first signing at Everton after a deal was reached between the two clubs.

The Wales captain, who played a key part for the Dragons in their run to the Euro 2016 semi-finals, is understood to have been made the subject of a successful £10m bid.

A report in The Mirror claims that the 31-year-old has now played his last game for Swansea after being left out of Saturday's friendly win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, bringing an end to his eight-year association with the Liberty Stadium outfit.

Everton are expected to lose centre-back John Stones to Manchester City before the transfer window closes for business, with Williams understood to be Koeman's top target to fill the void.

Williams, a target for Liverpool under former Swans boss Brendan Rodgers in the past, has made over 300 appearances for Swansea.
