Villas-Boas hails Froholdt: Copenhagen knew they had a gem | OneFootball

André Villas-Boas commented on the signing of Victor Froholdt. In statements to the Danish Players' Association website, the FC Porto president expressed his satisfaction at securing the 19-year-old midfielder.

«Our scouting team discovered him in time, before the big clubs signed him. We spoke with Victor [Froholdt], the agent, and the family in Copenhagen, so we were close to him from the start to convince him to transfer to FC Porto. Fortunately, we reached an agreement, Victor transferred, and we are very happy to have him here», he mentioned, before explaining the details of the deal.

«It was a difficult deal because Copenhagen knew they had a diamond in their hands. We were in long negotiations with the club and there were also other interested parties who tried to sign Victor. The combination of us being the first to make contact and the conversations with the family to convince him of FC Porto's project were important in his decision-making process».
