Sunderland have made an undisclosed offer to Swansea to sign defender Ashley Wlliams.
The Welsh centre-back has one year remaining on his current contract at the Liberty Stadium and it appears Swansea are willing to cash in on the player now, rather than let him go on a free.
Williams have been continously linked with the likes of Arsenal and premier league new-boys QPR, but it is Sunderland who have made a move.
Swansea boss Garry Monk confirmed earlier this week that the club had opened discussions regarding a new deal for Williams.
“We are in negotiations with his (Williams’) representatives and trying to put a deal across so that Ash will be here for the future of the club,” Monk told the South Wales Evening Post.
“I know Ash wants that, I want that, the club wants that, and that’s what we are working towards as we speak.”
