Nottingham Forest Are Interested in Leicester City’s Viktor Kristiansen

Nottingham Forest want to strengthen their team before the Premier League season. They are now interested in signing Leicester City’s fullback, Viktor Kristiansen.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Nottingham Forest are looking for a left-back. Viktor Kristiansen, who plays for Leicester City, is on their list. The 22-year-old Danish defender is wanted by many clubs after Leicester got relegated from the Premier League last season, finishing 18th. Kristiansen played 31 matches last season and is known for his strong defensive play and potential. Sunderland and some Italian clubs are also showing interest in him.

A previous report confirmed that Leicester City finished 18th and were relegated from the Premier League.

WHY KRISTIANSEN IS IN DEMAND

Kristiansen is a good fit for teams needing a quick, strong left-back. He played 31 times for Leicester City last season, showing good form despite the team’s struggles. During the 2023-24 season, he was on loan at Bologna in Serie A. There, he impressed with how versatile and energetic he was. His market value is around €18 million, showing he is seen as a rising star in Europe.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR FOREST AND KRISTIANSEN?

After finishing seventh in the Premier League last season and earning a spot in the next UEFA Conference League, Nottingham Forest want to add more quality to their squad for the 2025-26 campaign. Their preseason includes a friendly against Fulham, who finished slightly below them in the table. Forest hope new signings like Kristiansen will help them move up the rankings and avoid another difficult season. Meanwhile, Leicester City need to decide if they will keep the young Dane or sell him as more clubs from England and Europe show interest.
