Graduating through the academy of Copenhagen, Kristian made his debut for the Danish giants in late 2020 and signed his first professional deal shortly after. After three years in the side, he was sold to Leicester for £17 million in a record sale for a Superliga side. After a disappointing first six months to his time at the Foxes, he was loaned to Bologna for the whole of the following season as they dropped into the Championship. Whilst a buy clause was inserted into his deal in Italy, it was not activated and the Danish international returned to play a larger role in their next season back in the top-flight, with 31 appearances to his name.

Whilst Kristiansen’s wage is outshone greatly by teammate Ricardo Pereira, he is still one of the best-paid full-backs in the Championship.
