Denmark vs Mexico - International Friendly Match
Kasper Dolberg will have the opportunity to show the world what he is capable of at the World Cup

Kasper Dolberg looks set to replicate the success story of compatriot Christian Eriksen in making a move from Ajax Amsterdam and excelling in Europe's biggest leagues. The young Dane has established himself as a reliable goal-scorer for Ajax.

Dolberg has managed to score 32 goals in 78 appearances for Ajax. The 20-year old striker is tall and strong, but unlike stereotypical tall forwards who function only as a target man, Dolberg is capable of dribbling with pace and balance earning the comparisons with Zlatan. His pace coupled with intelligent movement allows him to be deployed even further deeper in an almost Benzema-esque role.

Dolberg is highly rated in the footballing community and nearly every big team is rumored to be interested in the Dane, but apparently Dolberg's preferred destination is Barcelona.

Given that Denmark will be without the injured Nicklas Bendtner, Dolberg might have the chance to shine at the Word Cup.
