Ki Sung-yueng has announced he is leaving Swansea in the wake of their relegation to the Championship.
The 29-year-old South Korea midfielder is in the final year of his contract at the Liberty Stadium and will now become a free agent this summer.
According to Sky sources, Everton are one of five Premier League clubs interested in signing Ki, along with Italian side AC Milan.
Ki joins Leon Britton and Angel Rangel in leaving the Welsh club this summer and he admits the team's struggles over the past two seasons have left him frustrated.
Ki wrote on Instagram: "It was a great privilege to play for Swansea for five years. Just want to say thanks to all Swansea fans who always gave passionate support to us every single game.
