Brandur Hendriksson on loan to Vendsyssel
Brandur Hendriksson, the talented midfielder from the Faroe Islands, has signed a loan agreement with Vendsyssel FF in the Danish First division for the rest of the season.
- Brandur need to play more regularly on a high level to improve further. It has been difficult for him among the extremely tough competition in his position at FCK. Therefore, this is an optimal solution for all parties as Vendsyssel is one of the best teams in the First Division with a strong setup and a very good training environment, says Johan Lange, Technical Director at FC Copenhagen.
Twenty-year-old Hendriksson, who is a regular in the Faroe Islands national side, has played 16 games and scored three goals for FCK.
Aboubakar Keita promoted to first team squad
Eighteen-year-old midfielder Aboubakar Keita from Ivory Coast has been promoted to the first team only two months after signing a contract with the U19-team at FC Copenhagen’s School of Excellence.
- He has made a good impression since he joined us in November and we have decided that it will be best for his further development that he from now on is a regular member of the first-team squad, even though he occasionally will train with the School of Excellence, says manager Ståle Solbakken.
Marcus Mathisen signs new contract
In the summer of 2015, 19-year-old Marcus Mathisen signed a short term senior contract that has now been extended to the summer of 2017.
The versatile youngster, who can play at centre-half and in central midfield, came from FC Copenhagen’s School of Excellence and has also represented Denmark all the way from U16 to U19 level.
Kim Christensen signs new contract
Reserve goalkeeper Kim Christensen, 36, has extended his contract to the summer of 2017. Apart from being a part of the goalkeeper set-up in the first team, he will continue his job as a goalkeeper coach for the young talents in the School of Excellence.
