Leicester City have signed FC Copenhagen defender Victor Kristiansen for £17m, subject to international clearance.

Kristiansen joins on a five-and-a-half-year contract until 2028 and is a Denmark Under-21s international.

The 20-year-old will help boost manager Brendan Rodgers' options at left-back after long-term injuries to the likes of James Justin.

"It feels amazing," Kristiansen told 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 is a top team, so of course I was excited.

"It was a no-brainer for me to say yes to this great opportunity."
