Leeds spent £10m to sign Danish international right back
Kristensen from RB Salzburg last summer but the 26-year-old has now departed
the relegated Whites to join Serie A side Roma on loan until the end of June
next year.
Speaking to Roma’s official website, Kristensen revealed his
excitement at the move as the club’s general manager Tiago Pinto made an
assured prediction about what the Dane would bring to Jose Mourhino’s team.
“I'm proud to be part of this great club – you can feel the
history as soon as you walk in here,” said Kristensen to asroma.com. “Roma's
European success in recent years made me want to play for this club even more.
I can't wait to have my every day life here.”
Tiago Pinto, Roma’s general manager, added: “Rasmus is a
player we've been tracking for a long time, even before he joined Leeds, and
now we finally have the chance to bring him to Rome. He has accumulated a great
deal of experience despite his young age. We're convinced that he will boost
our defensive options and make our squad even stronger.”
