Brondby 'close' to selling Celtic-linked Kvistgaarden
The Parkhead club's interest in the forward has long been noted. Just off the back of scoring 17 goals in 29 Danish Superligaen appearances in the season gone by, Kvistgaarden's future has been a hot topic this summer. Now, he is close to joining Lens, claims Tipsbladet, who say that the French Ligue 1 side have reached an agreement with Brondby over a potential move. Read more: Lens have yet to agree terms with Kvistgaarden himself, though, and Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt are 'very keen'. Norwich City have also been credited with an interest. The 23-year-old's reported price tag is north of €13 million, a fee that would make him the most expensive player in Brondby's history. The club's sports director, Benjamin Schmedes, issued an update on Kvistgaarden's future last month: "It doesn't surprise me that there is great interest in him from many teams," he said. "But I can't say that he is close to being sold or that he is far from being sold either. "That's because it is an ongoing process and the most important thing is that we are very transparent in our dialogue with each other."

Benjamin Nygren Celtic transfer hint amid replacement hunt
Brendan Rodgers pinpointed the Swedish star as a top transfer target after he scored 15 goals in 30 games last season for FC Nordsjaelland. Now, their director of football, Alexander Riget, admits the Danish club are trying to plan for life without Nygren. However, he concedes that replacing a player of his quality won't come cheap. "When you play with so many young players, and they make their debut on various A-national teams, offers can come in, and that is something we are continuously evaluating," Riget told Tipsbladet. "Our strategy is always to use our own young talents as much as possible, but if there are places in the team where we can see an opportunity for a qualitative boost while the talents grow, and that it is also in the form of a profile type that can support our own academy players, that is of course something we will look at. "We are looking for players in different places on the pitch where they can help increase our level and provide more stability. Read more: "For example, we can see that there is great and early interest in offensive, young players, so it is always a good idea if we have a player type like Benjamin Nygren, who has performed well over a number of years and given us stability in the front line. "In addition to looking for an offensive player, we are also looking at other positions. "So we will be active in the summer transfer window. It costs some money, but with the right quality we are also ready to invest. "If something happens, we may have to do something further but the focus will always and will continue to be on creating space and time for the many talents that come up from the academies in Farum and Ghana."
