Manchester City are monitoring the progression of Denmark youngster Kasper Dolberg, according to scout Sebastian Arnesen.

Arnesen, son of former Tottenham and Chelsea sporting director Frank, is quoted in Danish newspaper BT speaking on behalf of City, raving about the 19-year-old Ajax forward.

He said: "We keep a very close eye on him and, when the time is right, we'll make a decision on whether we should act on it.

"He has a huge potential. He is tall, strong, brave and quick. He has an excellent touch, can play with his back to the goal and take the right decisions. 

"And he can finish anywhere in the field. He is so special, and therefore he is of course also on the radar."

Holberg signed for Ajax from Silkeborg in 2015 and has scored 11 goals in 21 appearances so far this season.

He has represented Denmark at every youth level from U16 to U21 and made his senior international debut earlier this month in Denmark's win over Kazakhstan.
