Molde wing-back Vegard Forren has welcomed interest from Everton.

Everton sent a scout to watch him against Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League in September, and Forren was reported to have welcomed the interest in his services.

"If it is true then of course it is interesting, but it is not something I am thinking about," he was quoted as telling Romerikes Blad.

"I have been able to cope with the step up in the national team and in Europe and I feel I have played well enough to suggest that I am ready for a better league."
