Lyngby Boldklub has officially signed Daniel Freyr Kristjansson

Lyngby Boldklub announced today that they have purchased the 20‑year‑old Icelandic defender from FC Midtjylland. The deal was posted on the club’s website, and the player has signed a contract running until summer 2030. Kristjansson, who previously spent a loan spell at FC Fredericia, will mainly play on the left side but can also cover other defensive positions.

Why is the move important for the team?

Sporting director Nicas Kjeldsen says they have been following Daniel for a long time and view him as a young, exciting prospect. With Nicklas Moritzen’s departure, Lyngby lost a key player on the left flank, so Kristjansson provides an immediate solution. His ability to operate in multiple roles gives the coach tactical flexibility, and his physical profile suits the more robust 1st Division.

What can we expect from Kristjansson in the promotion‑chasing side?

Although he never made a senior debut for FC Midtjylland, Daniel already amassed 50 matches for FC Fredericia over two seasons. That means he arrives with experience from both the 1st and 2nd Division, which can aid Lyngby’s push for the top spot. His defensive timing and willingness to contribute in attack down the wing could add extra offensive dynamism.

How does the transfer fit into the current season?

Lyngby currently sit first in the 1st Division with 42 points after 22 games (12‑6‑4) and a goal difference of +24 (49 scored, 25 conceded). The club is three points ahead of Hvidovre, so the new addition could help maintain pressure on rivals. Kristjansson arrives as the team’s recent form reads LLWWL, so a solid back line could turn that into a longer winning streak.

What are the next steps for Kristjansson?

The young Icelandic has already reported for first‑team training this weekend. The manager expects him to be in the starting XI as early as the upcoming match against Hvidovre, a game that could be decisive for preserving the lead. Supporters can look forward to seeing him in the blue‑white kit on the pitch within the next few days.
