It is believed both Premier League clubs sent scouts to watch the young striker at the Viareggio Cup 2012, where the Denmark Under-19 international enjoyed a great campaign, netting two goals in the latter stages of the prestigious Italian youth tournament.

Zohore started his football career at youth level at Skjord, where he spent four years before moving to KB in 2006.

In 2010, at the age of 16, Zohore joined FC Copenhagen, making 16 appearances in all competitions and scored just the one goal before sealing a move to last month.

The youngster has also previously been on trial at Chelsea and Inter Milan and is yet to make an appearance for the Florence club.

Here is what he was doing with Copenhagen before joining Fiorentina.
