Former Östersund manager Ian Burchnall has explained why Leicester City would be wise to utilise the Scandinavian markets in future transfer windows.
The Leicester-born coach, who has previously managed Forest Green Rovers and Notts County, has extensive experience coaching in Scandinavia and has strong knowledge of the leagues.
City signed left-back Victor Kristiansen from Copenhagen last month, and Burchnall explained why Denmark, Norway and Sweden are good markets for clubs to scout and recruit from. He also spoke about Kristiansen and what he has made of the young full-back's start to his Leicester career.

"He's come over from Scandinavia and I know those leagues well," Burchnall told Leicester Fan TV. "There's some good players out there. I've worked with Danish players, Swedish players and Norwegian players; the mentality and mindset of those players (is strong).
"I think most (Scandinavian) players, with all due respect, want to get out of the country and go to bigger leagues. The ones that tend to do that have been hungry and are ready to go.
"I think he's a great prospect. He looks good. The first time I've really seen him play was when I sat and watched the Man United game. I was very impressed with the bits that I saw from him.
"Again, it's another good, intelligent acquisition from the football club that should be praised, when they get players like that through the door."
