The final moment of the summer-period transfer window offered up some interesting transfers involving Danish teams and footballers alike.
Brøndby IF made the biggest noise in the final days as they somehow managed to sign Danish national team captain Daniel Agger from Premiership giants Liverpool for a nominal fee.
In what is one of the greatest transfers in Danish football history, Agger’s return home to where it all began at the ripe age of just 29 launches the boys from Vestegnen into immediate title contention.
The double signing of Teemu Pukki and Holmbert Aron Fridjonsson from Celtic last night confirms as much.
