# Gylfi Sigurdsson out of Swansea’s pre-season clash

Everton have already failed with a bid for the player, who they have chased throughout the summer.

Swansea are thought to be demanding somewhere in the region of £50 million for the player.

The player returned to training during the week after missing out on the club’s pre-season training camp in America, but a decision was made between the club and the player that he would not feature today against the Championship outfit.

[Wales Online](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-target-gylfi-sigurdsson-left-13402909) also report that due to the player missing out on the training camp in America, which included double sessions, Sigurdsson is still not fit enough to be considered anyway.
