Swansea City have confirmed that Gyfli Sigurdsson will sit out their pre-season tour of America.
The Iceland international has been heavily linked with a move to Everton, with the Swans recently rejecting a £40m bid for his services.
Swansea are holding out for £50m for their key creator, but his absence from their pre-season tour will only heighten speculation that a move to Goodison Park is on the cards.
“Swansea City can confirm that Gylfi Sigurdsson will not travel with the squad to America for the pre-season tour,” a statement read on the club’s official website.
“Having played against Barnet last night, Gylfi did not feel in the right frame of mind to travel this morning due to the current uncertainty over his future.”
The 27-year-old played a vital role for Swansea last season, with his 13 assists the third most in the Premier League last term as the south Wales side successfully staved off relegation.
