Bids snubbed for Toffees target

Heerenveen and Valenciennes have seen bids rejected for Everton target Rasmus Elm by the midfielder's club Kalmar. Skysports.com revealed earlier this week that Everton are in pole position to sign the Sweden international after he visited the Premier League club. Elm confirmed he had made a trip to Merseyside, but was in no rush to make a decision on his future, with several clubs on his trail. Liverpool and Valencia have also been linked with the 21-year-old, while Everton are yet to make an offer for the £6million-rated midfielder. Dutch outfit Heerenveen and French side Valenciennes have shown their hand, but Kalmar have turned down the offers for Elm. Club chairman Johnny Petterson told Expressen: "I can confirm that only two clubs have made an offer, but they were both rejected. "Everton are also interested, but they haven't made an offer yet. I expect more clarity next week."
