We haven’t heard a lot about Leon Andreasen since he joined Hannover on loan in January. He’s featured fairly regularly in the Bundesliga since his move and has retained his place in the Danish national side.
He also found the net tonight as the Danes maintained their impressive unbeaten run with a comfortable win over Albania in their Group One qualifying fixture. He was slightly fortunate to score in truth as his speculative shot from distance bounced in front of goalkeeper Isli Hidi and went in.
Soren Larsen, who has been warming the Toulouse bench of late and is rumoured to be interesting a few English clubs, added a second for the home side seven minutes later and Christian Poulsen made the game safe with a third goal on 80 minutes.
Denmark and the leaders Hungary are locked together on 13 points at the top of the group but the form of the Danish side should give them great confidence ahead of the next round of qualifiers. Tonight was the fourth sucessive time that they have scored three goals in qualifying fixtures.

“I enjoyed my time at Werder Bremen and am now excited bya new challenge that awaits me. I look forward to playing well for Fulham and competing in the Premier League.”

Werder Bremen defensive midfielder Leon Andreasen looks set to join Fulham, according to reports from Europe.
Negotiations over a transfer for the Danish international are at an advanced stage with Bremen wanting €4 million tough tackling midfielder. The fee shouldn’t be a problem for Fulham, with Roy Hodgson having been allocated funds by Mohamed Al Fayed as he looks to guide the Whites away from the Premier League relegation zone.
Andreasen joined Werder in 2005 from Aarhus for €1.6 million. He has 8 caps for the Danish national side.
