The Januar transfer window is soon upon us, and a Danish striker has already been linked with a move to Crystal Palace. During the summer window Andreas Cornelius, Jores Okore and Nicklas Helenius joined the Premier League. Today, we take a look at five players potential for a move to the EPL.







5. Emil Larsen, 22, Odense BK
Value: £875.500 (transfermarkt.co.uk)

The young winger was close to signing with Brøndby in the summer, but didn't pass the medical test. Brøndby claimed that a knee injury from earlier in his career was now causing problems. However, it was only the medical staff at Brøndby who saw it as a problem. Instead, Larsen stayed in Odense where he has been on of the profiles so far this season. Eighteen matches, six goals and three assists so far have also brought him into the Danish national team where he so far has played four matches. The winger is a man for the future in Danish football and wishes to play in a better league at some point. January might be a possibility for him to go abroad, but Odense are probably not willing to let him go at the moment.



4. Lasse Nielsen, 25, Aalborg BK
Value: £650.000 (transfermarkt.co.uk)

Lasse Nielsen have been a part of the Aalborg Superliga squad since 2006 and had his debut in 2008. Despite being only 25, the central defender has a routine as a 32-year old with his 172 matches for Aalborg. So far it has only been to one match for Denmark for the defender, but he has the potential for many more especially if he can come to a bigger club. Despite Aalborg wanting to keep their club man, Nielsen have already announced he will leave the club next summer when his contract ends. Therefore, Aalborg can have some interest in selling the defender this winter, and with Nielsen hoping to play in England, the Premier League is a possibility. Some of the smaller clubs as West Brom, Hull or Crystal Palace, could be a club for the defender.



3. Kasper Kusk, 22, Aalborg BK
Value: £875.000 (transfermarkt.co.uk)

He was the 'Keep an eye on'-talent on this blog a few weeks ago. Since then he was announced as the profile of the Superliga this year by the managers in the league. Kasper Kusk probably the hottest name in Danish football at the moment, and will soon be history in the Danish Superliga. The winger is known for his dribbling skills and his ability to find the goal. However, he still lacks some in the physical play. The Danish national manager Morten Olsen has called up Kusk for duty a couple of times this season, and with a move to a bigger club, the talent might be able to take the step towards becoming the first choice.



2. Peter Ankersen, 23, Esbjerg Fb
Value: £1.300.000 (transfermarkt.co.uk)

The right-back have been one of the forces behind Esbjerg's success in the Europa League this season, and have made him a future prospect for Denmark in the future. Ankersen have said that he wants to leave Esbjerg this winter and not for another Danish club. The Premier League could be a possibility as he will fit well into the English style of football. Furthermore, his ability to score goals as a left back should make some managers want him for their side. In fact, one of Ankersens goals was nominated for the Puskas award this year.



1. Simon Makienok, Brøndby IF
Value: £1.200.000 (transfermarkt.co.uk)

The English media have already given Simon Makienok the predicate as the Danish Peter Crouch given his physics. The striker is known for his ability in the air while he is lacking when it comes to speed. He is a regular starter in Brøndby and is often called up for duty at the Danish national team as a support for Bendtner. The striker was linked with a move to Russian football in the summer but declined himself. Instead, Crystal Palace have been mentioned as the next stop for the striker as they are looking to bring in some Danish dynamite to the attack.
