Toffees sweet on Elm
Everton have reportedly tabled an offer for Swedish star Rasmus Elm.
The highly-rated Kalmar midfielder impressed during the recent European Under-21 Championship and he is believed to have caught the eye of Everton scouts.
Fulham and Stoke have both been linked with the 21-year-old in the past, but Everton are hoping to steal a march on their rivals by making a firm move for Elm.
Kalmar sports director Svante Samuelsson has confirmed Everton have expressed an interest in Elm.
"It's correct that Everton is one of the clubs who are interested, but I do not want to go into that at this time," Samuelsson told Sportbladet.
Elm's agent, Patrick Mork, admits the player has a lot of clubs chasing him, but he refused to comment on Everton's reported interest.
"Unfortunately, this is nothing I can comment on," said Mork of Everton's interest.
"It is clear that there is great interest. There are many options.
"But it should feel right for Rasmus and he has no urgency. It has been an intense summer, with many matches for Rasmus."
