Elmander makes Bolton move

Swedish international moves to the Reebok stadium as Braaten leaves

 

Bolton have completed the signing of Toulouse striker Johan Elmander for an undisclosed fee.

 

The Sweden international, who represented his country at Euro 2008, moves to the Reebok Stadium on a three-year deal.

 

Elmander, 27, joins Bolton with Norwegian international Daniel Braaten moving in the other direction in a cash plus player deal and it is rumoured the transfer surpasses the previous club record fee paid for Nicolas Anelka.

 

And Bolton boss Gary Megson is delighted to have landed his man after chasing Elmander for six months.

 

"Johan is a player I have admired for a long time," Megson told Bolton's official website.

 

"He's a player who will get us goals and also create opportunities for his team-mates.

 

"I am still on the look out for other players to boost the quality of our squad."

Tom Huddlestone has signed a contract extension at Spurs.

 

Obviously been given another chance to prove his worth.

 

I thought he may have been an affordable Newcastle target.

Liverpool have launched a surprise move to sign Tottenham striker Robbie Keane - but may be priced out of a deal for the Republic of Ireland star.

 

Spurs boss Juande Ramos is an admirer of Liverpool forward Peter Crouch and Anfield boss Rafael Benitez is happy to make him part of an exchange deal.

 

BBC Sport understands Liverpool would be willing to offer Crouch plus cash to sign 28-year-old Keane.

 

But they fear Spurs will demand £20m for Keane, wrecking a possible deal.

 

Spurs have not received a transfer request from Keane, despite reports claiming he had demanded to leave White Hart Lane.

 

Liverpool's transfer plans are currently focused on concluding the protracted and acrimonious pursuit of Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry.

 

Barry has publicly stated his desire to move to Liverpool - and while Villa boss Martin O'Neill admits he is willing to do business, the current price tag of at least £18m is out of Liverpool's reach.

 

606: DEBATE

Should Keane quit Spurs for Liverpool?

 

Benitez's interest in Keane is an unexpected development but, with Crouch likely to go and Portsmouth still his most likely destination and Andriy Voronin struggling to make an impact, he is seen as an ideal partner for Spain's Euro 2008 hero Fernando Torres.

 

Keane is under contract with Spurs until 2012, having signed a new five-year contract in May 2007.

 

He was an influential figure last season, scoring 23 goals in a campaign that was capped by the Carling Cup going to White Hart Lane - and Liverpool's move will receive no encouragement.

 

But reports suggest Keane may be tempted to make the switch by the lure of playing Champions League football at Liverpool, the club he supported as a boy.

 

He joined Tottenham from Leeds for £7m in August 2002 and has also played for Wolves, Coventry and Inter Milan

 

Liverpool, meanwhile, may have to wait until European champion Xabi Alonso returns from holiday before they can sort out the Spanish midfielder's future.

 

Alonso is on a three-week break after being part of Spain's successful Euro 2008 squad, leaving a possible £16m move to Juventus in limbo and boss Benitez waiting to discover if he will get a fresh injection of transfer funds.

I like Keane. Alright, he's not worth that but he's a class player and Spurs don't need the money so why sell on the cheap. Having said that I reckon Liverpool could get him for less than the figure being quoted.
