FC Copenhagen fullback Victor Kristiansen welcomes Leicester interest

FC Copenhagen fullback Victor Kristiansen has welcomed interest from Leicester City.

The Foxes have launched a bid for the Dane this week.

The 20 year-old told Bold: "That's great to hear. It's the world's biggest league, so it's a huge pat on the back that rumours abound about it.

"My career has gone extremely fast. It is not more than two years since I, as an U19 player, had to play a match with the first team in the preseason. All of a sudden I got the chance and now I have played 73 games.

"I am 20 years old and I have no problem waiting. I'm in no hurry.

"But yes, I feel ready for it all. I've played in the Champions League, won the championship and been a key figure for FCK, so I feel I'm ready for whatever comes next.

"I actually think I have the package to get there (Premier League). I'm reasonably hopeful if it's something that comes to the table, but now we'll have to see.

"The Premier League is a boy's dream. I think it is for most people when they start playing football. But I don't know if it has to be direct, or if there have to be some steps from time to time."
