Thomas Kristensen, a 23-year-old Danish defender who marked his debut with a goal against Hellas Verona, has drawn interest from Aston Villa. Reports suggest that the Birmingham club is contemplating a substantial offer as the transfer window nears its end. Udinese has assessed Kristensen's worth at no less than 15 million euros and has started searching for possible replacements, with 23-year-old Etienne Kinkouè from Le Havre in Ligue 1 being considered. Kristensen's contract with the Italian team is set to expire in June 2028, and his current market value is estimated at €6 million by Transfermarkt. Alongside Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bologna have also been associated with the player.
