BRISBANE Roar are set to further add to their attacking arsenal by signing Danish winger Tobias Mikkelsen.

Hot on the heels of snaring the services of former A-League Golden Boot winner Adam Taggart, the Roar have enticed Mikkelsen to Brisbane.

An official announcement isn’t expected until next month, but it is understood the 31-year-old Mikkelsen ¬ now plying his trade in Nordsjaelland in the Danish Super League ¬ has agreed to terms with the three-time A-League champions.

STRIKER: Roar sign Taggart

Mikkelsen has made eight appearances for the Denmark national team and was a member of the Danes’ Euro 2012 squad.

The 178cm attacking weapon has also played in Germany for SpVgg Greuther Fürth, as well as for Norwegian club Rosenborg, where he won the league and cup double in 2015.

He will join countryman Thomas Kristensen in the Roar squad and will be part of a revamped Brisbane forward line that will include fellow new boy Taggart and exciting French winger Eric Bautheac, whose existing contract will be upgraded to marquee status.

Taggart, 24, said on Tuesday he was thrilled to be joining the Roar from Perth Glory.

“I’m ready to hit the ground running in pre-season and I’m excited for what the future holds,” said Taggart,

“I cannot wait to start working with (Roar coach) John (Aloisi) and the rest of the team as we push for a fourth championship.

“It’ll be a special moment for me when I get to run out on to Suncorp Stadium for the first time in orange.”

Aloisi backed Taggart to succeed in Brisbane.

“We are delighted to sign a young, talented, Australian striker who we know will suit our style of play and has the potential to be one of the leading strikers in the league next season,” Aloisi said.

Taggart was the target of a vicious verbal attack on social media from Glory owner Tony Sage on Tuesday.

“It’s not only extremely disappointing when you take a player who is at the crossroads in his career with injury, nurse him through at great expense and finally we get him right and then leaves with no thanks or even the decency to tell us … no he just lets the other club announce it,” Sage posted on Facebook.

“He said he would wait til our new coach was appointed ... so a liar as well. He would have been our highest paid player but all we got was a 2 fingered salute.”

However, it’s understood that the Glory’s football general manager Jacob Burns and departing CEO Peter Filopoulos knew of Taggart’s decision before the Roar officially announced the signing yesterday.
