Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has admitted his admiration for Sunderland winger Jordan Henderson.
Liverpool are among clubs to have been linked with the England cap.
Dalglish wrote in his column for the Mail on Sunday: "It's my opinion that the players are a lot better than their results would suggest in South Africa and other countries have a greater respect for them than some of the English football fraternity.
"We've got top players now and Wilshere, Andy Carroll, Jordan Henderson, Chris Smalling and Joe Hart all have the potential to do extremely well.
"If you're going to try out new blood, friendly games like this one in Copenhagen are the right stage. All I am cautioning against is throwing them in en masse. You run the risk of losing the kids forever if things don't go well."
