Valdemar Lund is delighted for former FC Copenhagen teammate Victor Kristiansen over his move to Leicester City.
Kristiansen has impressed since his January arrival.
Lund told Bold: "I am proud of him because he is one of my very close friends. I have trained a lot with him off the pitch, so we have helped each other with a whole lot of things.
"So it is great that he has now taken that step there. We knew he was something special. So I'm just proud of him.
"I have never doubted that he would reach the very top shelf at some point. So it's big."
