Albin Kenneth Dahrup Zohore ({{IPA|fr-CI|kɛ.nɛt zo.ɔ.ʁe}}; {{IPA|da|ˈkʰɛnˀet soˈhoːɐ̯}}); born 31 January 1994) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Danish 2nd Division side Fremad Amager.

He began his career in his native Denmark, making his professional debut for Copenhagen at the age of 16, becoming the youngest player to play in the Danish Superliga. Regarded as a promising youngster, he joined Italian side Fiorentina in 2012 but struggled to break into the first-team and, following loan spells with Brøndby IF and IFK Göteborg, he returned to Denmark on a permanent basis by joining OB in 2015.

On 20 October 2010, Zohore made his first UEFA Champions League appearance for Copenhagen, playing against FC Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Zohore attracted attention from numerous clubs around Europe, spending time on trial at Chelsea, also being approached by Chelsea player Didier Drogba after the two sides met in a Champions League fixture, and Inter Milan.{{cite web |url=http://www.sporten.dk/fodbold/den-nye-bendtner |title=Den nye Bendtner (The new Bendtner) |access-date=2010-03-07 |date=2010-02-05 |publisher=Sporten.dk |language=da |archive-date=22 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322120922/http://www.sporten.dk/fodbold/den-nye-bendtner |url-status=dead }} His performances saw him described as "one of the top striking prospects anywhere in the world".{{cite web |url=http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/6820678/zohore-reveals-drogba-chat |title=Zohore reveals Drogba 'chat' |publisher=Sky Sports |author=Richard Torgerson |date=18 March 2011 |access-date=18 August 2017}}

He was given shirt no. 33.{{cite news|url=http://www.legaseriea.it/c/document_library/get_file?uuid=c539b06c-4a16-4487-8fe1-83f9efefdfb5&groupId=10192 |title=Comunicati Stampa N°123 (2011–12) |date=12 May 2012 |access-date=1 July 2012 |publisher=Lega Serie A |language=it }}{{dead link|date=May 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} However, Zohore did not feature for the first team, later stating that he was "too young" to cope with the strong competition for places.{{cite web |url=https://sport.sky.it/calcio/europei/2017/06/25/zohore-dalla-fiorentina-spinge-l-italia-in-semifinale.html |title=Da meteora viola a eroe, l'Italia ringrazia Zohore |publisher=Sky Sports |language=it |date=25 June 2017 |access-date=18 August 2017}}

On 8 August 2013, Brøndby IF, managed by Zohore's former coach at Danish youth levels Thomas Frank, announced that they had agreed a deal with ACF Fiorentina to sign Zohore on a season-long loan with the option to buy at the end of the year for between €2.2 and €2.3 million.{{cite web |url=http://www.bt.dk/superligaen/saadan-har-broendby-kokset-i-zohore-handel |title=Sådan har Brøndby kokset i Zohore-handel |publisher=bt.dk |language=da |date=28 July 2013 |access-date=21 August 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://brondby.com/nyhed/2013/08/08/kenneth-zohore-til-broendby-if |title=Kenneth Zohore to Brøndby IF |publisher=Brøndby IF |language=da |date=8 August 2013 |access-date=21 August 2017}} Brøndby paid a loan fee of nearly €100,000 to secure the move, beating off competition from German side Hannover 96.{{cite web |url=http://www.jv.dk/sport/Saa-meget-skal-Broendby-betale-for-Zohore/artikel/1593204 |title=Så meget skal Brøndby betale for Zohore |publisher=Jydske Vestkysten |author=Søren Sorgenfri |language=da |date=26 July 2016 |access-date=21 August 2017}} The transfer nearly collapsed as Brøndby were unaware of their need to pay Zohore's wages during the loan spell, but the loan was eventually completed.
