Molde defender Vegard Forren is flattered to be linked with Everton, but no offers for his services have been tabled as yet.
The 24-year-old centre-half has enjoyed a productive 2012, helping his club employers to the league title and earning senior international recognition with Norway.
His development has been noted outside of his homeland, with scouts regularly deployed to watch him in action.
Everton

are among those to be closely monitoring his situation, with a representative from the Premier League club in attendance at a UEFA Europa League clash withSteaua Bucharest

on Thursday.
Forren is aware of the speculation suggesting he could soon be on his way to England, but he will not be allowing the transfer gossip to become a distraction.
"If it is true then of course it is interesting, but it is not something I am thinking about," Forren told 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."
Molde boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has, however, been quick to point out that no approaches for Forren have been made.
He said: "There is a lot of interest in him, but no offers have arrived and no club has wanted to negotiate with us."

Interesting article! I've not seen those quotes anywhere in the norwegian media, not even on Molde's OS or local newspaper. God knows where this one is going.

Looks like the interest is mounting. Moyes apparently went to watch him on wednesday night

He's meant to be a really good player, Left footer too. So would be the natural replacement to Distin.

Moyes is good at these off the radar signings with talent, fingers crossed on this one.

my norwiegian friend told me he was at the hungary match, most probably to watch him. he labelled him the next hangelaand so does that mean this guy has similar attributes to duffy?

He is the business on FIFA

Is he good on FM though, that is the question.

He is one of the best talents on FM 13.

I think the last couple games have shown that Moyes is looking to phase out Distin (and for good reason). He's an excellent player but at his age he should not be starting every week, I think we should extend his contract by a year but he should mainly be cover.

This guy will be good to cover Heitinga and Jagielka, which means we could afford to loan Duffy out again as he needs more first team experience.

Of course, this is just what I want and in reality we'll probably sell Heitinga and give Distin a 4 year extension.

I must be in the minority who think Duffy should be given a chance. Showed he was more than capable last season.

I'd give the lad a chance as well, seems a decent player, if not loan him out to a championship team.

I'm in love, he looks what Bilic should have been
