 Jacobsen played in all three Denmark games at the 2010 World Cup

West Ham have agreed a deal to sign Danish right-back Lars Jacobsen from Blackburn Rovers.
The move was sealed late on transfer deadline day and is awaiting approval from the Premier League.
Jacobsen, 30, has earned 35 caps for Denmark and played 16 times for Blackburn since arriving in June 2009.
Hammers boss Avram Grant, whose side have leaked nine goals in their opening three Premier League games, had made recruiting a new right-back a priority.
Sam Allardyce signed Jacobsen for Blackburn on a free transfer from Everton, where his appearances were limited by a shoulder injury.
The defender started his career at Danish side Odense and has also played for Hamburg, FC Copenhagen and Nuremberg.
Jacobsen played in all three of Denmark's matches at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where they beat Cameroon but lost out on qualification from the group stage to the Netherlands and Japan.
