"He will be very important," said Larsen. "We need those goals, and he has also shown that in the national team. He is ready to kick it in when it enters the small box.

"We are actually also good at playing up to a striker, so it will be very important that he is ready for the EC this summer."

"We haven't had a striker like that since Preben Elkjær, although Flemming Povlsen would probably think he was. However, Flemming was everywhere on the pitch.

"Højlund is more of a goalscorer. I think that if we are to go really far at the European Championships, he must hit great form this summer."
