Elm: No interest in Rovers move

Elm signed a four-year contract with AZ in August to join from Kalmar, but the Swedish youngster has struggled to make an impact with the Dutch champions.[LNB]He is ineligible to play in the Champions League having already appeared in the competition for Kalmar and that has hampered his prospects of cementing his place in the team.[LNB]The 21-year-old's situation has led to speculation that he could move to the Premier League in the New Year, having previously been linked to Everton, Fulham and Manchester City.[LNB]Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has been tipped to make an offer when the transfer window reopens, but Elm has rubbished the rumours surrounding his future.[LNB]"I am definitely not," Elm told Fotbollskanalen when asked if he would be signing for Blackburn in January.[LNB]"That's totally made up. I like it a lot in Alkmaar."[LNB]Elm also revealed that he understands why AZ coach Ronald Koeman is reluctant to bring him back into the team on the back of a win.[LNB]He added: "It's a bit odd playing a game, and things go well, and then not being able to play in the Champions League.[LNB]"And when things go well there, I can understand that the manager doesn't want to change it."[LNB][LNB] Bolton 11/10, Draw 9/4, Blackburn 13/5
