Moyes moves for £4m rated Icelandic striker Sigurdarson while Wolves freeze



Everton have launched a bid for Iceland international striker Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson after Sportsmail first revealed their interest in the player earlier in the week.

The Toffees’ offer for the 21-year-old, who plays for Norwegian club Lillestrom, involves an initial payment potentially rising to a maximum of £3 million if he is successful in England.

But Goodison boss David Moyes is not guaranteed to land 6ft 1in Sigurdarson, who has netted 11 goals in as many games this season.

Sunderland, Fulham and Premier League new boys Reading, together with Championship duo Ipswich and Wolves, have also been trailing the player and were all represented at Lillestrom’s 0-0 draw with Aalesund on Thursday.

New Wolves boss Stale Solbakken is a big fan of Norway’s hottest young prospect and made a personal visit to watch him on Thursday night.
