Knut Olav Rindaroy 300[LNB]EVERTON will run the rule over Norway international Knut Olav Rindaroy before deciding whether to pursue their interest in the Molde FK defender.[LNB]The 24-year-old left-back was set to arrive on Merseyside today and is expected to spend two days training at Finch Farm.[LNB]Manager David Moyes, who was linked with a move for Rindaroy last summer, is in the market for a full-back after Lucas Neill left for Galatasaray and Tony Hibbert was ruled out for a month after a hernia operation.[LNB]The Blues boss must now decide whether Rindaroy fits the bill.[LNB]Molde FK have given him permission to hold talks and will demand around £1.2million for a player who has one year remaining on his contract.[LNB]Club director Tarje Nordstrand Jacobsen said: "I can confirm that Knut Olav will visit Everton from Tuesday to Thursday.[LNB]'They want to fly him over so that he gets to see the club and meet with them. But that doesn't mean anything is clear yet. We have signalled what the financial terms should be for a possible sale.[LNB]'Of course, we are looking at getting the best possible price for Knut Olav but at the same time are realistic to what the market looks like and that his contract expires after this season.'[LNB]Rindaroy is a quick, attacking full-back who played a key role in helping Molde secure second place in the Norwegian top flight last season.
