Leicester City have signed Copenhagen defender Victor Kristiansen for £17million, subject to international clearance.
Kristiansen joins on a five-and-a-half-year deal until 2028 and is a Denmark Under-21 international.
The 20-year-old will help bolster manager Brendan Rodgers’ options at left-back after long-term injuries like James Justin.
“It’s amazing,” Kristiansen told the the club’s website. “It’s really exciting to be here.”
He added: “The Premier League is probably the best league in the world and Leicester are a top team, so of course I was excited.
“It was obvious for me to say yes to this great opportunity.”
The Foxes have been in poor form since resuming domestic football after the World Cup and have lost four successive top-flight games.
They are 15th in the Premier League, two points above the relegation zone.
Kristiansen, who has made more than 70 appearances for Copenhagen, will be in the stands to watch Leicester take on Brighton at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, before joining the first team for training on Monday.
