Juventus eye Elmander

The newly-crowned Serie B champions are set to lose France striker David Trezeguet this summer to either Lyon or Liverpool.

And Sweden international Elmander, who was one of the stand-out players in Ligue 1 this season, was nominated for the French Player if the Year award, in which he lost out to Lyon's Florent Malouda.

"I can confirm that some European clubs are following Johan closely," Elmander's agent Anders Wallsten told Sportbladet.

"However, I do not want to comment on Juventus specifically at this point in time."

Elmander, 25, spent several seasons trying to break into the Feyenoord first team before returning to Sweden on loan with Djurgardens, following which he returned to the Netherlands with NAC for a season before moving permanently to Brondby in Denmark.

The former Holmanlunds and Orgryte man joined Toulouse at the start of the season just gone and would cost in the region of 6 million euros.
