Nordsjælland make smart move for Christiansen

Danish champions FC Nordsjælland have signed attacking midfielder Anders Christiansen from relegated Superliga rivals Lyngby BK, with the 22-year-old signing a four-year contract.

"We are getting a fine footballer who fits perfectly into the way we like to play," said Nordsjælland coach Kasper Hjulmand. "He is skilful and hard working – and good at finding space and time. We collect intelligent players, and Anders is just such a player." An Under-21 international, Christiansen has been at Lyngby for 11 years. His new side enter the UEFA Champions League in the group stage.
