The rumours linking us with a move for Rasmus Elm might actuallly not be so far off the mark. Roy Hodgson was in Sweden running the rule over one of Europe’s brightest young talents last night, according to the Sun.
Elm has already turned down a move to Fulham once – claiming last January that the time wasn’t right to him to leave the Allsvenskan – but Hodgson may be able to tempt him with the prospect of European football. The Fulham manager will certainly be interested if the price is as low as the £2.5m quoted in the article as Elm has the ability to become a star in the Premier League.
The Whites aren’t the only ones attracted by Elm’s potential. Everton showed the Swedish under-21 international around Goodison Park last move and were hopeful of concluding a deal, but the Kalmar midfielder has been busy mulling his next move and has kept his suitors waiting. Inevitably, there is late interest from Manchester City.
This Swedish journalist reckons that Fulham would be young Elm’s best choice.
Hope so because Elm may be a good player to have.
The longer it goes without a player coming in the more the fear is that we will panic or be left with the small squad we have. Elm looks good on the little I have watched of him.
Mind you I could look good in the odd clip.
Hello Lighthouse.
Roy doesn’t strike me as the kind of manager who would panic in the transfer market. He has a distinct plan for each of his signings and knows just how they will fit into his system.
As for Elm, the boy is top quality – something which goes far beyond any Youtube clip you might have seen.
