Daniel Munthe Agger (born 12 December 1984 in Forsvar , Denmark ) is a Danish professional Football player for English club Liverpool F.C. . Agger plays as a Central Defender , where his height of 189 Cm makes him a good header of the ball. He has played four games for the Denmark National Football Team . BIOGRAPHY Daniel Agger left childhood club Rosenhøj Bold Klub at 12 years of age, to play for the youth team of Brøndby IF . In July 2004 he was moved from the youth squad to the first team, following the departure of Swedish International defender Andreas Jakobsson . Daniel Agger quickly established himself not only as a first team regular, but as one of the bearing elements of the team that won the Danish Superliga 2004-05 championship. Despite his young age, he played with great authority under the guidance of Brøndby team captain Per Nielsen , and after the first half of the season Agger was named 2004 "talent of the year" by Spillerforeningen (the Danish equivalent of the English PFA ). After the successful Superliga 2004-05 season, Agger was called up to the senior Danish National Football Team for the 1-0 friendly win against Finland on June 2 , 2005 , playing the full match. Agger would see the next national team match from the bench before playing the full 4-1 friendly win on August 17 2005 over England alongside Per Nielsen, where he caused problems for the English attack, especially Wayne Rooney . Daniel Agger would play full time in the next two national team matches, before an injury sustained in the Danish Superliga 2005-06 season in September forced him out for the remainder of the year 2005. Only 20 years of age, Daniel Agger was once more awarded the "talent of the year" on December 6 , 2005 . Agger was long linked to a transfer to a bigger club, and in the 2006 January Transfer Window , Agger was looking to join legendary English FA Premier League team Liverpool F.C. . Daniel Agger did not travel with his Brøndby teammates for their winter training camp in January and on January 12 , 2006 he signed a 4½ year contract with Liverpool, making him the most expensive footballer sold by a Danish club to a foreign club in a £ 5.8m-deal, and also making him the most expensive defender Liverpool has ever bought.
