This lad is a bit of a comet.
Having only just broke into the first team at minors FC Nordsjælland in the early days of 2011 he found himself picked for Morten Olsen's Danish national team only around 6 months later due to injuries to key defenders such as Simon Kjær and Mathias Zanka. Got around 30 minutes of playing time in the pivotal home victory over neighbours Sweden.
Ivorian born Jores Okore, 19-year-old, is a bit of a trademark build Ivorian. Atheltic, strong, agile, pacy and powerful. Yaya Toure meets Kalou in terms of physical appearance.
Combine these great physical attributes, alongside his calm and grounded personality, with the tactical nous of the Danish youth coaches at B93 and FCN (both well-known for their great job with young players) as well as the coaches at Denmark's U21 team, and you've suddenly got a player with quite some range of skills despite his tender age.
Very calm on the ball and not affraid of moving it out on the floor. Very decent passer of the ball and reads the game tremendously well for such a young lad. There's a good chance he'll be included in Olsen's squad for the Euro's where he most likely won't play mind but the experience will do him good.
I wouldn't recommend signing him already but I hope his name is on the 'prospect list' as it really should be. Won't come anywhere near as expensive as many other talents baring in mind he's playing in Denmark.
