Elia ready for move

Elia ready for move
Dutch ace Eljero Elia has confirmed his intention to leave FC Twente in the summer.

The 22-year-old winger has attracted the attention of a host of clubs this season and skysports.com revealed in January that he was wanted by a number of Premier League sides.

But interest is now emerging from all over Europe with German and Spanish sides taking a close look, along with Dutch giants Ajax.

Elia only signed a new five-year deal last year, but he has revealed that there is an agreement in place with Steve McClaren's side which will enable him to leave.

Agreement

"That's the deal I made with the club," Elia told Dutch magazine Sportweek .

"In the summer they have to sell me, I want to make a good step at the end of the season and that will happen.

"It could be a move to a foreign side, but also to a Dutch club. Ajax? Everything is an option: I am willing to listen.

"The most important thing is that I will become a better player."
