Swansea City believe they are in good position to demand £30million for their midfield playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson in the summer, according to the Daily Star.

The newspaper reports that both West Ham and Everton are interested in the Icelandic international but it seems the Swans will stick to their asking price if Paul Clement helps to steer the club to safety this season.

The former Derby boss has helped Swansea to sixteenth in the table, three points above the relegation zone despite their loss to Hull City at the weekend. It is reported that he will only allow Sigurdsson to leave if a replacement is found first and a club matches their valuation.

The 27 year old rejoined Swansea on a permanent basis from Tottenham for £6.8million in 2014 after previously playing for the Welsh club on loan from Hoffenheim in 2012.

Playing on the left wing and in the number 10 role for the Swans this season, he has scored eight goals and provided 11 assists with manager Slaven Bilic seemingly seeking a player who can create and score goals in the same vein of the now departed Dimitri Payet.
