Eriksen aside, Jakobsen warned Australia to be vigilant of young winger Pione Sisto who spent the first parts of his career at Danish club Midtjylland. 

Jakobsen even advised one of Australia’s own prodigies to model his career around Sisto, who now plays in La Liga for Celta de Vigo.

"Eriksen is obviously great, but Sisto is the one to watch," Jakobsen said

"I know they hype Arzani a lot here in Australia, but Sisto is Denmark’s creative player on the wing who can do the same as Arzani, just a bit better.

"If I was Arzani, Sisto would be a player whose career I’d look at.

"I’ve had chats with Daniel (Arzani) because he likes to see himself at a big club very quick.

"I tell him to take it easy, and like Sisto did - not rush."

As for why Jakobsen decided to join Adelaide United amid interest from other A-League clubs, the advice of outgoing Johan Absalonsen was the main selling point. 

"I was talking to other clubs both in Australia and back home, but Adelaide seemed right for me," he said.

"I had a good chat to Johan about Adelaide and he was very positive about everything.

"That for me is really important when deciding on a club, I was able to do the same with Thomas Sorensen before joining Melbourne City."

Still living in Melbourne, Jakobsen will re-locate to Adelaide and link up with his new teammates in a couple of weeks.

One Adelaide player who Jakobsen likely won’t see is Ersan Gulum, who allegedly has his heart set on returning to Melbourne.

"What I heard was that he wanted to go back to Melbourne, if that is to be the case, I think I’ll have a good partnership with Jordan Elsey," Jakobsen said.

"I’m looking forward to playing with Elsey, he’s a young guy with a lot of promise so hopefully I can give him some guidance."
