‘It would not interest me at all’ – Swansea boss Paul Clement denies speculation he is set for Carlo Ancelotti reunion at Everton

Swansea manager Paul Clement has insisted he is ‘no interest’ in a possible reunion with Carlo Ancelotti at Everton.

The experienced Italian coach has been linked with the Goodison Park vacancy after the Toffees sacked Ronald Koeman on Monday.

Reports claim the former Chelsea boss would only consider a return to the Premier League with the Merseyside club if Clement agrees to be his number two, having worked together at previous clubs Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

However, despite being under pressure following a poor run of results, Clement has made it clear he has no plans to leave Swansea.

"It would not interest me at all,” the boss said ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Arsenal.

"I enjoy being here and think I'm at a really good club.

"It is a massive challenge that I am enjoying and I have no plans to go anywhere.

"I have not spoken to Carlo for over a week so I don't know anything about that situation [the Everton job]."

Clement has also denied Swansea are in crisis after winning only two of their opening nine games of the new Premier League campaign.

The Welsh side sit outside the relegation zone only on goal difference after just one league win in six games.

But asked if Swansea were a club in crisis - as they were when he took over in January with the side bottom of the league - head coach Clement insisted that was not the case.

"When I arrived in January we had played 19 games and had 12 points," the Jacks boss added.

"We have played nine games now and I believe I should be judged at the end of season after 38 games.

"We're on a run where we haven't picked up a massive amount of points, but last season we went through a run of six games and picked up one point.

"During that period there was a lot of talk of Swansea going down from pundits, media and ex-players.

"But then we went and won four of the last five games and the other result was a draw at Manchester United.

"I've been around this game long enough to know you've got to keep level-headed and stay positive."

The Swans are set to be without Martin Olsson, Wilfried Bony and Renato Sanches at Arsenal.

Olsson suffered a suspected hamstring strain in Tuesday's 2-0 Carabao Cup victory against Manchester United, a defeat which Bony and Sanches missed through injuries that will again keep them out at the Emirates.

"We waited to scan Martin because we wanted the inflammation to go down," Clement said.

"But the initial indication is that there is a small hamstring injury.

"We want the scan to confirm that and he almost certainly won't be available this weekend."
