Since moving from Danish minnows FC Midtylland to Palermo in 2008 for four million euros (Dh18.5 million), the youngster has shone against the best of Serie A, and his rock solid performances for the Sicilian side earned him a call-up to the Danish national side this year. An excellent all-round defender, Kjaer is strong in the tackle and good in the air both in his own area and when sent forward for set pieces. He also reads the game extremely well for one so young, and shows excellent positional awareness despite the odd lapse in concentration. For Denmark, Kjaer lines up alongside the man he describes as his "idol", Liverpool's Daniel Agger - and Kjaer's efficiency and Agger's more cultured style have combined well.</blockquote>
