The 6ft 5in Dane flew into England to tie up his initial £200,000 transfer which could eventually double depending on the number of first-team appearances he makes.

But the 20-year-old will complete the season with his Danish club Ikast before reporting to Highfield Road for pre-season training in July.

Meanwhile, manager Gordon Strachan's other recent signing, Italian striker Stefano Giocchino, has spelt out his desire to join Coventry on a permanent basis.

The 21-year-old has linked up with City on loan from Serie B club Venezia until the end of the current campaign after impressing in a trial period.

He said: "I hope I can stop even longer and if Coventry decide to take me I will be very happy. It is a dream of mine to play in England, and I will looking to do my best between now and May.

"There is a lot of competition for striking places, and Darren Huckerby, Noel Whelan and John Aloisi are very good players. All I can do is try to impress, and then it's down to the coach.

"I have settled in quickly here. The weather is a bit of a challenge - but it's up to me to adapt."
