Elm grows on Everton
EVERTON are closing in on a deal for Sweden international midfielder Rasmus Elm after flatly rejecting Manchester City’s £15 million offer for centre-back Joleon Lescott.
Manager David Moyes underlined his determination to add to his squad rather than deplete his resources by holding firm on Lescott as talks began with Swedish side Kalmar for Elm.
Everton are adamant that no stars will leave, and chief executive Robert Elstone said: “We do not intend selling any players.
Moyes has also not given up hope of signing Sheffield United’s Kyle Naughton, despite strong interest from Spurs.
