Leicester City have ‘literally stalked’ player – Foxes ahead in race
 

Last week, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur were mentioned as potential suitors for Udinese defender Thomas Kristensen.

 

German champions Bayer Leverkusen were also suggested as an interested party and more has now emerged about the situation around the 22-year-old defender.

 

Messaggero Veneto have reported that exits could be a problem for Udinese this month, even if manager Kosta Runjaic has made it clear that the club has no need to sell players in January.

 

Despite that, it is stated that Kristensen is being ‘literally stalked’ by Leicester City, who will have to pay about €16.5m to sign him, but that price tag doesn’t scare the Foxes at all.

 

While the report mentions that Tottenham and Leverkusen are also interested, they seem confident that it is Leicester City who are leading the race for the centre-back.

 

Kristensen’s exit will not be massive for Udinese by any means but the indication is that his loss will still impact the side, with the Dane having started three of the last four Serie A games for the club. He has made eight appearances in all competitions so far this season.

“Literally stalked” lol

From the footage I’ve been able to find of Kristensen (his time in denmark) interestingly, he spent a lot of his time at right back or the right side of a back 3 which may further indicate a plan to move to a back 3?

 

From what I’ve seen he appears very similar to Vestergaard but he has a tad more pace and loves switching the ball with long diagonal passes. He doesn’t appear to use his size as well as he could though, again similar to Vesty.

Moving to a back 3 only works if you have 2 competent WB’s who can attack and defend on both sides. No way JJ and VK can fulfill those roles as neither have the engine required to get up and down or the quality in final third.

I doubt we'll move to a standard back 3, based on RvN's preferred formations.

 

Instead, I'd hazard a guess this guy replaces JJ at RB out of possession, and drops into being an RCB in possession. VK/a left wing back then pushes forward more in possession, like Justin does currently.

We need a right winger to do that. 

 

Currently, we play an LM and JJ becomes the the RM when in possession

Yep agree.. formation change wont save us and is not needed its simply personal changes in key positions that will.

This is from his time at AGF in Denmark where he produced quite a highly rated defensive duo with Yann Aurel Bisseck(Now at Inter Milan). The two of them ended up being AGF’s highest record departures in the clubs history…

Surely we cant be considering spending £16m on a player who has spent most of this season out injured.

the 3 at the back in possession 4 at the back out of possession things makes sense to me with the right personnel. 

out of possession:

                          hermansen

kristiansen vestergaard okoli kristiansen

         ndidi            winks           soumare

    buona                                         bilal

                              vardy

 

in possession

                          hermansen

 

     kristiansen     vestergaard       okoli 

                              winks

              ndidi                      soumare               

       bouna             bilal                 kristiansen

                               vardy

That does feel one hell of a lot more solid down the right, doesn't it? Certainly once Ndidi is back too.

If this happens, how long before whoever does the team sheet graphic mixes up his and VK's numbers?

I remember years ago East Midlands Today announcing the loan signing of Collins John from Fulham with an image of John Collins. Still makes me smile.

How can you expect Thomas to go from right back to left mid in possession

Thanks for this, he’s not a player I’m too familiar with. Seems quite similar to Vestergaard but can also operate as a right centre back. So I could see why his profile could be interesting. Any idea how fast he is?

No problem mate. 
 

He first came to my attention when he was at AGF, but at that time I was mainly focusing on Nagalo and Bisseck who were arguably the two standout defensive talents in Denmark at the time. 
 

I believe he’s mainly played in a back three, both at AGF and Udinese, think he’s operated on both the right and left sides of defence, but probably best to look on Sofascore for his heat map. 
 

As for pace, not sure mate, you’ll have to go digging for some Udinese highlights 😕
