Jesper Cornelius Rasmussen (born 26 June 2001) is a Danish footballer who plays as a forward for Danish Superliga club Lyngby Boldklub.
Cornelius is a product of Randers FC, where he played in his youth years. [2] However, he was sorted out at the age of 14, and subsequently made the trip to several different clubs in East Jutland.
