Victor Bernth Flesner Kristiansen (born 16 December 2002) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Serie A club Bologna, on loan from EFL Championship club Leicester City, and the Denmark national team. [2]
A youth academy graduate of Copenhagen, Kristiansen made his senior team debut on 4 November 2020 in a 2–1 cup win against Avarta. [3] [4] He made his professional debut on 29 November 2020 in a 3–1 league win against SønderjyskE. [5]
On 20 December 2020, four days after turning 18, Kristiansen signed a contract extension with Copenhagen which would run until December 2023. [6]
On 20 January 2023, Kristiansen signed for Leicester City for a record-breaking fee of £17 million, making him the most expensive Danish Superliga player ever. [7] He made his debut for Leicester as a substitute against Walsall in the FA Cup. [8]
On 30 August 2023, Kristiansen was sent on a season-long loan to Serie A club Bologna. [9] He made his debut for the club on 2 September, starting in a 2–1 league victory against Cagliari. He immediately proved decisive, providing an assist for Joshua Zirkzee's 1–1 equaliser in the 59th minute. Later, his cross hit an opposing defender's arm in the penalty area, but his teammate Riccardo Orsolini missed the attempt from 12 yards. However, Kristiansen's shot on target in the 89th minute resulted in a blunder by goalkeeper Boris Radunović, and Giovanni Fabbian scored from the rebound. [10]
Kristiansen represented Denmark at various youth levels, up to and including Under 21. After being named in previous squads, Kristiansen finally made his debut for the senior Danish side when he came on as a second half substitute away to Slovenia in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier. [11]
