Chelsea had a defender in the early 90s who may have qualified (not Erland Johnsen, the other one).
Kjeldberg?

Kenneth Zohore for Cardiff

Both the spelling and player is correct. 7 to get but they are fairly tough now so might drop some clues in soon.Quote:

All correct. Bolton loved signing up the Danes. 5 to go - goalscorers for Southampton, West Ham, Derby, Ipswich and Blackburn.Quote:

Both correct, but Thomsen had already been said. Rieper scored 5 goals for West Ham. Some clues for the last 4:Quote:

3 - (Derby County) - Spent 4 years at Derby, making over 100 appearances, after moving from Silkeborg in 1996. Also spent time at Leicester and Wolves later in his career.
1 - (Ipswich Town) - Centre back who also played for West Brom, scored a number of goals for both clubs in the Championship too.
1 - (Blackburn Rovers) - Scored once for Blackburn, away at Chelsea. Was the most expensive player to be sold by a Danish club, when he moved for £2.5m from Odense to Blackburn. Scored 4 goals in one international game.
Jacob Laursen
Knew mentioning that short spell with Leicester would help! 3 to get.Quote:

Something a little different for the next question. Across the following selection of 25 leagues, there are 46 players who have scored 20 or more goals for club and country so far this season. Can you name them all? Some of the answers are pretty clear, but there are a few I doubt anyone will get. Just fancied mixing up the questions.
Top 2 leagues from:
Spain
England
Germany
Italy
France
And the top league from:
Portugal
Russia
Belgium
Netherlands
Ukraine
Turkey
Austria
Denmark
Scotland
Czech Republic
Cyprus
Greece
Switzerland
Serbia
Croatia
If you'd all prefer to stick to the nationality goalscorer questions, I can go back to that. Got 3 big lists ready to go.
I’ll bite:Quote:

I think Rashford has just missed out on that but only bt one or two. Can't remember what it said in the thing I read about his injury earlier.
Which Dembele are you referring to?Quote:

Sam Cosgrove won't be far off either if you're allowing cup goals.
Moussa.Quote:

Morelos is one of only 7 to have reached 30 goals in total. Cosgrove has 23 so far, and there's one other from the SPL.Quote:

Watkins?
Watkins was also correct. As this has gone dormant, I'll call an end to this question. Players that weren't answered are in red.Quote:

Ken Monkou
Not the player I thought would get guessed first, but Monkou is correct, with 10 goals for Southampton.Quote:
