Under-18s Centre-Back Kristensen Signs Pro Everton Contract

Teenage Danish defender Sebastian Kristensen will stay at Everton until at least June 2022 after signing a two-year professional contract with the Club.

Kristensen, an authoritative and composed centre-half, joined Everton from Lyngby BK in his homeland in April 2019.

His arrival was delayed by a head injury but after linking up with Everton Under-18s in January this year he quickly forced himself into Paul Tait’s squad.

Kristensen viewed his injury setback as “a challenge to see how far I can go” and the 17-year-old confirmed his complete recovery with two appearances from the bench in February.

He will rejoin manger Tait’s group when Everton Under-18s report back to USM Finch Farm for pre-season training after the 2019/20 campaign was curtailed in March following the coronavirus outbreak.
