ASHLEY WILLIAMS has dashed Crystal Palace and Everton's hopes by committing himself to Swansea.
Ashley Williams has declared he is staying at Swansea
The Swans skipper, 30, was a target for Alan Pardew and Roberto Martinez after helping the club to an impressive eighth-place Premier League finish last term.
"I'll be staying at Swansea," said Williams.
"I'm used to dealing with the speculation and bids. It's part of the job and I just take it as a compliment and it shows you are doing your job properly."
