FC København have made their first signing since qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time, bringing Hjalte Bo Nørregaard back to the club after a season with Dutch club SC Heerenveen.
'Special feeling'
The 25-year-old midfielder, who will have a four-and-a-half year contract, said: "I'm really looking forward to coming home. I've always had a special feeling about the club and it's going to be great playing at the Parken again. Being in the Champions League makes the move even more exciting." The Danish title-winners will meet SL Benfica, Manchester United FC and Celtic FC in Group F.
Confidence
København chairman Flemming Østergaard was delighted to land a player who scored 12 goals in 89 league matches for the Lions before his switch to the Eredivisie, saying: "It's nice to bring an old FCK player back home. We know what Hjalte is all about and I'm in no doubt that he'll fit right into our current squad."
