Interest mounts in Swedish starlet

Rasmus Elm could be on his way out of Swedish champions Kalmar, with Fulham reported to be among the interested clubs across Europe.

German giants Bayern Munich have also been linked with the talented 21-year-old midfielder, who is currently away on international duty with Sweden at the European Under-21 Championship.

However, a number of scouts are known to have travelled to that tournament to check him out and he is expected to receive a number of offers in the coming weeks.

"Clubs are obviously keen to see how Rasmus is doing during the Championships," Kalmar club director Svante Samuelsson told Expressen.

The likes of Marseille, Paris St Germain, Sevilla and Valencia are also said to be keen on Elm, but the player's agent insists no deal will be discussed until Sweden's European Championship campaign comes to a close.

"Everything is on ice until the championship is over," said Patrick Mork.

"We will see what Rasmus wants to do after that."
