scored about 1 in 3, good feet, very good in the air, strong Benteke type player (not in the same class, but you never know). 6'5 and will fill out.

The world of Wiki has him listed as a forward with 35 goals in 90 + appearances for Aalborg and 2 full international caps.

Looks decent, but then again Balaban did on VHS

Looks good on Youtube. Some comparisons to Ibrahimavich. He does look the part. Would be an ideal competitor/successor for Benteke. It also means if Benteke needs a rest, we'd have the option to do that without switching things round too much.

Exactly the mould we need to be backup for Benteke. Great stuff if he is decent. Okore and this guy together would make sense.

In Lambert we trust.  ;D

Beats signing someone like Heskey or Harewood anyway.

Does anybody think this may be a sign that Benteke is leaving?

Also he's 6 foot 5 and has been capped for Denmark. Valued at just over £1 million.

Cover for Benteke, anyone?

Going by that video, he certainly has quick feet and I can understand the comparison to Ibrahomivic but he would he have some way to go before he could be put in that class.

Odd that the club would announce that we're in discussions with someone, it's not really their way.

No, he'll just be cover. Look at that Chelsea game where Benteke was sent off, we had little to no plan B whereas now we can shove this lad on.
