Aston Villa considering link-up with Danish side Lyngby Boldklub
Bet365Aston Villa director Keith Wyness has confirmed the club are exploring the possibility of a link-up with cash-strapped Danish Superliga side Lyngby Boldklub.
The potential partnership would aim to nurture young talent both in England and Denmark, and could save Lyngby from bankruptcy.
Sky Sports News understands Villa are not planning to put any money into the venture, but are offering expert advice on the deal and a football tie-up between the two clubs.
The finance is being put forward by a separate, as-yet-unnamed, investment company.
Lyngby have not won the Danish Superliga title since 1992 and their chairman Torben Jensen claimed recently that the club is now in such a poor state financially, that they cannot afford to put the under-soil heating on at the stadium.
Wyness told Danish outlet BT: „I would like to confirm that we are coming to Denmark at the beginning of next week. Maybe Monday, but probably Tuesday.
„We send five men to look into the circumstances. Aston Villa has a strong connection to Danish football, and I have known many Danish football players over time, so I know the quality of Danish football and the Danish football team education.
„It is, among other things, what makes Lyngby an interesting club for us.
„I have seen the great opportunities that have been created elsewhere, and I hope that we can create an equally good relationship with Lyngby, as there is, for example, between Brentford and FC Midtjylland, where I can see that it works really well.
„We do not come to clean up, but to develop the club further, after local business people have done a good job.
„We believe that we can help develop and run the club better than it has been driven for some years, and it is, among other things, what we come to Denmark to be sure of.
„We still need to meet Lyngby’s leadership face-to-face, and then we’ll look closely at the finances before we finally say ‘yes’.“
Lyngby are currently 12th in the 14-team Superliga table. They finished third last campaign, and competed in the qualifying stages of the Europa League at the beginning of this season.
