Although no official statement has been issued, we believe this transaction is complete. Copenhagen is thought to have accepted a fee of £17 million plus additional add-ons as the U.21 international is due for his physical soon.
Victor Kristiansen demonstrated his ability to handle a difficult task by keeping Riyad Mahrez quiet in the Champions League encounter against Manchester City. He is only 20 years old, and with the Wesley Fofana transfer in mind, we surely hope that Brendan Rodgers’ decision on this kid will provide him with the left-back alternative he seeks.

As previously stated, Victor Kristiansen is not valued at this level of the transfer fee, and this is a significant risk taken by Leicester, who must be convinced that this player is worth such a large fee, and signing players from the Danish Superliga directly to the Premier League can be a difficult transition, as we saw with Daniel Amartey, who also joined from Copenhagen.
Leicester requires a left defender, but we are surprised to see the Danish U.21 international sign when we thought Brendan Rodgers would want a more experienced individual to fill this position.
