FC Norsjaelland will not stand in Okore's way

FC Norsjaelland have confirmed they would not stand in the way of starlet Jores Okore leaving the club. The 19-year-old is being linked with a host of teams across Europe and a number of Premier League sides are reportedly keen. Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle are all understood to have been watching the Danish teenager. The Ivorian-born defender has also attracted interest from the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Wolfsburg, Dynamo Kiev and Shakhtar Donetsk.

Interest

And his club Norsjaelland admit they would not prevent a big move for Okore. "There is on-going interest in several players, and it is no wonder that Jores is one of those players," Norsjaelland sports director Jan Laursen confirmed to Tipsbladet. "There are undoubtedly many very strong clubs that follow him. "We have a principle that we always look at the offers that might come. We want to help our players on."
