Ashley Williams has joined Everton from Swansea for an undisclosed fee, the Premier League club have confirmed.
Everton have announced the signing of centre-back Ashley Williams from Swansea City for an undisclosed fee.
The Wales international has signed a three-year deal with Ronald Koeman’s side, who are reported to have paid a free in the region of £12million.
“I’ve had eight great years at Swansea and, for me, the new challenge was something I felt I needed, so I’m delighted to have joined Everton,” Williams, who was captain at Swansea, told Everton’s official website.
“Everton is a great club with an unbelievable manager – a world legend in football – and I believe the club is going in the right direction. This is something I wanted to be a part of.”
Williams joins Everton a day after fellow centre-back John Stones left Goodison Park for Manchester City, for a fee reported to be close to £50m.
Having joined Swansea from Stockport County in 2008, he helped Swansea achieve promotion to the Premier League in 2011 before going on to win the League Cup two years later.
