The Dane has attracted interest from North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal whilst also rumours have circulated about a possible move to AC Milan where he would follow in the footsteps of his former boss Marco Giampaolo.

“He’s played a big role in my development,” he added in this interview with Goal.

“I have learned a lot from him and he has made me a more complete footballer.”
