West Ham United, Everton and Leicester City have been linked with Swansea City’s Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Gylfi Sigurdsson will not travel to the USA for their pre-season tour with his Swansea City teammates, according to a statement on the Premier League 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,” added the statement on Thursday.

Sigurdsson’s future is wrapped up in uncertainty, as no fewer than three Premier League clubs are reported to be interested in the Iceland international midfielder.

According to BBC Sport, Leicester City and Everton have had bids of £40 million rejected for the former Tottenham Hotspur star, who is on the radar of West Ham United, according to The Daily Star.

It has been reported that Welsh outfit Leicester want as much as £50m in order to part company with the 27-year-old.

However, since Swansea have made it public that Sigurdsson is not in the right frame of mind, could they be forced to accept a lower transfer fee that they are demanding at the moment?

(Reported) interest from Everton, Leicester and West Ham seems to have affected the former Reading man, and if he makes a decision to leave the Liberty Stadium, then the Swans could be forced to reduce their asking price.

After all, Swansea manager Paul Clement would not want to have a player in his squad who does not want to be there.
