The young Swedish ace demonstrated in the Eredivisie clash against Ajax Amsterdam that he is one of the best free-kick takers playing in Europe.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rasmus-Elm-c30628, has become the top free-kick goal-scorer in Europe after converting his fifth free-kick of the season, against Ajax Amsterdam.
The 23-year-old has been staging scintillating shows at AFAS Stadion for the past couple of seasons and his bright performances have not gone unnoticed outside of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753.
The deep-lying playmaker arrived at AFAS Stadion at the start of the 2009/10 season after making close to 100 appearances for the Swedish outfit, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kalmar-FF-c39661. His performances in his debut season at the Alkmaar outfit saw him cement a regular berth in the
starting XI.
Elm has thus far represented the outfit from Alkmaar in 68 matches and managed to find the back of the net on 16 occasions.
The Swedish ace has already netted an impressive nine goals in 18 league appearances while setting up four more this season. His consistent and good performances have played an integral part in his side's rise to the summit of the Eredivisie table this term.
The midfield maestro has been in phenomenal touch since the start of the 2011/12 campaign, as he has been converting free-kicks on a regular basis. His goal against Ajax at AFAS Stadion on Sunday, January 22, has made him the leading goal-scorer on free-kicks
in Europe.
Sunderland’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dries-Mertens-c11679 all have netted only three goals on free-kicks.
Ajax boss, Frank de Boer, recently praised the Swedish ace’s ability to deliver from dead-balll situations.
Elm’s impressive performances have garnered him interest from a host of European clubs including the likes of Manchester United, SSC http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
The Swedish International has an ongoing contract with the Alkmaar outfit that runs until the end of the 2012/13 campaign. However, with several top flight clubs eager to acquire his services in the upcoming summer transfer window, it seems unlikely that
the 23-year-old will pursue his career in Alkmaar after this season.
