Hamburg confirms interest in Man Utd and Liverpool target

The 24-year-old has impressed for AZ Alkmaar since joining the club from Swedish side Kalmar FF in 2009.

Hamburg-based billionaire Klaus-Michael Kuehne is reportedly ready to fund a move for Elm.

“We are talking frequently [with Kuehne] and we are talking about many things,” said Jarchow.

“Elm is definitely a player that has been making our shortlist.”

Liverpool and Manchester United have also been linked with a move for the highly-rated midfielder.
