Iversen set for Rosenborg return

Steffen Iversen seems set to return to Rosenborg after turning down Everton.

The former Tottenham and Wolves striker enjoyed a few days on trial at Goodison Park last week as he looks to find a new club.

Iversen is a free agent after leaving Valerenga and has discussed possible moves to Real Mallorca, Celtic, Messina and Portsmouth over the past few weeks.

The 29-year-old is believed to have impressed at Everton, but Rosenborg have stolen a march on them by offering Iversen a deal.

The Norwegian giants are believed to have offered Iversen a three-year deal to lure him back to Trondheim.

"He got an offer from Everton, but has now decided to go for Rosenborg," Iversen's agent Christian Eidem told Norwegian daily VG.

Iversen rose to prominence at Rosenborg ten years ago scoring some vital goals in their UEFA Champions League campaigns before moving to Tottenham.
