Latest under our scout's gaze is Copenhagen's Andreas Cornelius

The scout reports...

Andreas Cornelius is one of the latest band of Danish youngsters making a big impression and attracting major interest. We check on the Copenhagen striker.

Cornelius began playing from an early age and was with local youth side Fremad Amager, before being picked up by Copenhagen in 2011 aged 18 - by which point he was already a regular for Denmark at various levels.

Less than 12 months after arriving at the club he was handed his senior debut in April, after he impressed during a winter training camp.

Last summer saw Copenhagen sell star striker Dame N'Doye to Lokomotiv Moscow, which came just months after they sold starlet Kenneth Zohore to Fiorentina - and suddenly that meant that Cornelius was thrust into the spotlight.

And the youngster has taken his opportunity with both hands - still only 19 at the beginning of this season, and he was soon into double figures - indeed he is the quickest player in Danish football history to get to 10 goals in a league season, just 76 days.

As it stands Cornelius has 18 goals in 27 games, a record which has had the the scouts flocking to the Danish capital.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Stoke City are just some of the names said to be regularly scouting Cornelius.

His form has seen him called up to the Danish senior squad - and he scored his first goal for his country last week against Czech Republic.

Standing at 6ft 4in, he has been dubbed the news 'Nicklas Bendtner' - but that really is doing him a disservice. Much more than a target man, yes Cornelius is very good in the air - but he is also skilful and deceptively quick.

But Cornelius' eye for goal is his main attribute - a lovely left foot, he is capable of finishing from anywhere around the box.

The scout says...

His progress has been stunning in recent months, and it is clear to see why the English clubs are salivating over his potential.

Despite less than 12 months of first-team football, he looks like he could be ready to move - clearly another season at Copenhagen would benefit him and they may try and keep him until the summer of 2014.

Based on the Youtube clip, he is definatley a great signing, his touch is 2nd to non and he looks a skilful and speedy striker. Will compliment Maynard well (this is my prefered partner to him based on Maynards style of play) and im sure MM will have unearthed another gem.

Looks a snip at that price,only time will tell,well done malky

This boy looks quality, quick, strong and good in the air!

The best thing about that article is that cornelius scores 60/80.
In his article about isco he gives him 63/80
hmmmmm

Bloody hell, I, probably like many, have never heard of him, but that sounds very promising indeed.

I'd take that sky sports scout article with a pinch of salt if I was you mate. I read some of his other scouting assignments and I was wanking at first when I saw that he gave cornelius 60/80 and isco only 63/80

I read further down and noticed he gave ben nugent 59/80 and said he's potentially worth 30 million!!!!!!!

Yet another signing ruined by Jones.

Analysis:
"He's a big guy, but actually when he was a youth player he wasn't that big, so he developed his technique and needed to survive on his technique and suddenly he just flew up and got big. So he has the technique and the physicality. He broke through instantly and scored a lot of goals and got to the national team, so he's been a great story this season in Denmark."
