Danish new boy Rasmus Nicolaisen's vow over delivering in English football for Portsmouth
Rasmus Nicolaisen has the belief he can hit the highs with Pompey this season.
The defender has agreed a season-long loan from Danish powerhouse FC Midtjylland, subject to international clearance.
Nicolaisen arrives as a leftfield addition to Kenny Jackett’s ranks and will bolster his options at the back and offer balance with his left foot.
It’s a journey into the unknown for the 23-year-old, but it’s a challenge he believes he’s equal to.
Nicolaisen told FC Midtjylland’s official site: ‘First of all, I need playing time. I'm now 23 years old, so it's about time to show what I can do. The plan is for me to play a lot of good matches and hopefully deliver at a high level.
‘Portsmouth is a club with ambitions to move up, so I look forward to being a part of and contributing to it. I have had some good talks with the club, and I have a good gut feeling about the stay.
‘The football culture in England will also be exciting to experience. English football has always appealed to me, so I look forward to trying my hand at it.’
