“I’m Ready!” — Brøndby Star Targets First Scotland Cap After Stellar Form

Luis Binks says he is ready to represent Scotland at senior level after a strong start to life with Brøndby IF in Denmark.

The 24-year-old defender, who joined the Superliga giants from Coventry City this summer, has enjoyed a rapid rise in form and believes there is now a clear pathway to Steve Clarke’s national squad.

The London-born centre-back, who qualifies for Scotland through his grandfather, spoke exclusively to Flashscore about his ambitions after adapting quickly to life in Copenhagen.

Since arriving for a reported €3 million fee, Binks has impressed supporters with his composure on the ball and consistency in defence.

‘I’m Ready If Scotland Call’

Binks has already represented England at youth level but says he would be proud to switch allegiance if Scotland came knocking. “I haven’t chosen, but if Scotland comes calling tomorrow, of course, I would love to play for them,” he said. “It’s a goal for me to be called up, and I think there’s a pathway because some defenders are ageing or playing in leagues that aren’t as strong as the Danish league.”

His performances for Brøndby have been a major talking point in Denmark, with local media praising his calmness under pressure and quick adjustment to the league’s physical demands. Despite replacing former captain Jacob Rasmussen, Binks insists he doesn’t feel overwhelmed by the responsibility. “They paid good money for me to come here, but I hit the ground running and I’m happy with how things are going.”

The defender’s growing maturity has been noted by scouts across Europe, and a Scotland debut could accelerate his reputation even further. With Clarke expected to freshen up his defensive options before the next international break, Binks’ form in Denmark may soon earn him a long-awaited call.

Learning From Legends and Looking Ahead

Before his Danish move, Binks had already gathered remarkable experience for a player still in his early twenties. He came through Tottenham Hotspur’s academy, made his senior debut under Sinisa Mihajlović at Bologna, and worked under legendary figures such as Thierry Henry at CF Montréal and Frank Lampard at Coventry City. Each, he says, left a mark.

“They’re not the players you grew up watching — they’re coaches now — but they gave me different things. Mihajlović gave me belief, Henry gave me confidence, and Lampard taught me discipline.”

Now settled in Copenhagen with his girlfriend and their dog, Binks feels at home both on and off the pitch. He’s relishing life in a city known for its football culture and sees Denmark as the perfect stage to continue his development. “Danish people are very open and friendly, so it’s easy to settle. The level here is a positive surprise — people don’t realise how good this league actually is.”

With a five-year contract at Brøndby and eyes on a “top five” European league in the future, Binks remains focused on the present.

“First, it’s about winning trophies here,” he said. “If you do that, you become a legend at this club.”

For now, though, it’s the chance of a Scotland debut that could mark the next step in a career that’s already taken him from Montreal to Milan and now to the top of the Danish Superliga.
