(Reuters) - Everton defender Ashley Williams has urged manager Ronald Koeman to ignore speculation linking him with the soon-to-be-vacant Barcelona job and build a team for the future at Goodison Park. "For me personally and the lads, we obviously hope he stays," Williams told British media. "He's started building a team here and we're all confident the future looks good for Everton, so from our point of view we'd obviously want him to stay. "The gaffer is trying to build a team he wants and we've done well in the last couple of months. It's about kicking on now and trying to take that into next season," the 32-year-old Williams added.
