EXCLUSIVE | Jesper Lange could be the next Scandinavian to join the A-League, with Australian clubs keen on the reliability players from that region provide

A Viking invasion could be set to strike the A-League as clubs look for maximum bang for their buck when recruiting imports.

With Thomas Sorensen and Morten Nordstrand settling in quickly at Melbourne City and Newcastle Jets last season, Scandinavian footballers have been alerted to the possibilities available in Australia.

Although A-League clubs can't compete financially with those in Scandinavia or from various Asian countries, the opportunity to experience a different lifestyle is tempting Danes, Swedes and Norwegians.

Australian football agent David Clarkson - a former National Soccer League winner with South Melbourne - has a number of Danish clients keen to make Australia the next stop in their career.

"If it was for the money, I guess these guys would be looking at China, Japan, Korea or Thailand but these guys are looking to come and make an impact and live a good life and experience something new," Clarkson told Goal Australia.

Throughout the history of the A-League, clubs have had issues with imports who have taken up to a year to adapt to Australian football.

Clarkson is convinced this won't be a concern when dealing with Scandinavian players.

"Their work ethic, for me, is unquestionable," he said.

"In training their mentality is incredibly strong and these guys know their way around a football pitch and that's why for me it's a no risk for A-League clubs because they are very like-minded in regards to work ethic, and obviously tactically, technically they're at a very, very high level."

Jesper Lange is a prime example of the kind of player Clarkson is looking to bring to Australia, with at least two A-League clubs having discussed signing the versatile forward.

The 30-year-old, who has played the majority of his career for Danish Superliga clubs Esbjerg and AGF, is willing to turn down more money in Germany and Asia to make Australia his new home.

Lange, a former team-mate of Nordstrand's at AGF, has discussed the A-League with the Jets winger and is confident he can make an impact.

"I am able to play in several formations and I have a reputation as a player of never, ever giving in. Defenders will learn that," he told Goal Australia with a smile.

Clarkson added: "I think it's one area that we lack in Australia is that goal-scoring, penetrating player, and that's what he [Lange] offers."
