Kalmar FF midfielder Rasmus Elm has claimed that Manchester City are interested in his services.

The Sweden international is expected to make a move away from Fredriksskans this summer.

Elm is said to have caught the eye of a number of Premier League sides, with City the latest to be mooted as suitors.

The 21-year-old is flattered by the link and stated that he is open to a switch to England's top flight.

"City have talked to my agent." Elm told Sportbladet.

Everton

"It's both fun and flattering that a big club like them show interest in me.

"I don't feel that it is negative that many clubs come to watch me. It's just a boost, it shows that I am on the right track."

Elm also suggested Everton remain in the running for his signature, adding: "I want to join a club where the coach gives me big confidence.

"I got a good impression of (Toffees manager) David Moyes. I don't close the door to any league, but the Premier League is more tempting than the Eredivisie.

"The overall picture is important, but the biggest club is not necessarily the right one for me."
