Rumour round-up

Last updated : 19 January 2010 By Les Roberts

Which would be lovely as our Scandavian contingent has been culled somewhat by the arrival of David Moyes.

In fact, there don't seem to be as many Swedes, Norwegians, Danes or Fins knocking about the top flight as there was a few years ago.

The latest 'steady-but-unspectacular' player to be linked with Everton is the Tolkien-sounding Knut Olav Rindaroy.

Norwegian side Molde have claimed that the 24-year-old left back is on his way over to Goodison today - TODAY - to discuss a move to Everton during this month's transfer window.

Exciting stuff and no mistake!

Other rumours have us linked with Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford.

The 26-year-old (I know! I thought he was about 19 too!) is said to have withdrawn his transfer request and is banking on a move to the Blues in the summer.

Newcastle it is then?!

Everton have also been linked with a move for Racing Santander midfielder Sergio Canales.

Real Madrid have previously been interested in the 18-year-old and Arsenal, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough are thought to be 'monitoring his situation'.

Actually, Middlesbrough aren't at all, I just miss putting them in there with the others!
