Everton ‘to offload Ashley Williams this summer

Ashley Williams has reportedly been dubbed surplus to requirements by new Everton manager Marco Silva.

According to The Mirror, the Wales international is one of several players the Portuguese coach is willing to listen to offers for this summer.

Silva and Everton director of football Marcel Brands are expected to offload a number of players to reduce the wage bill and free up transfer funds.

Williams, however, is said to keen to see out his existing contract at Goodison Park, which runs for another 12 months.

The 33-year-old defender, who is currently recovering from the collapsed lung he suffered while on international duty, struggled to find consistency last season and was eventually dropped by former Blues boss Sam Allardyce.
