"It feels amazing. It's really exciting to be here and I’m so excited to meet everyone at the Club, as well as the fans," Kristiansen said on the club's official website.

Kristiansen came through Copenhagen's ranks, and made his debut for the club at just 17 years old. He has played more than 70 times since.

He is yet to be capped by his national side, Denmark, but has featured at all youth levels, and helped them reach the quarter-finals of the 2021 UEFA Under-21 European Championships.
