FC Copenhagen have completed the signing of the 30-year-old Danish defender Asger Sorensen from Sparta Prague.

The 30-year-old defender joins the Lions after four seasons as a key player and vice-captain of the Czech club. He will wear the number 4 shirt and has signed a three-year contract with F.C. Copenhagen.

The centre-back left Denmark at the age of 18 to join FC Liefering, and has since made a name for himself in Austria and Germany. He was a regular for FC Nürnberg until Sparta Prague head coach Brian Priske brought him to the Czech capital in 2022.

Sparta Prague won the Czech league for the first time in nine years in Sorensen's first season in the capital, and the Czech league named him both the best defender of the season and the best foreign player of the season.

Now his ambition is to bring the same quality to F.C. Copenhagen and add new milestones to the club's history.

“For me, it’s not about coming home - it’s about ambitions and development,” says Sorensen. I have goals and dreams that I want to achieve, and I chose FC Copenhagen precisely because of my ambitions.

“I’m hungry to play in Parken and in Europe, and I’m really looking forward to that. I know what the job requires, and I’m coming to Copenhagen to take responsibility. I want to contribute with experience, leadership and physicality, and I’m prepared for the hard work that lies ahead", says Sorensen on the FC Copenhagen website.
