Sonne, 24, is the nephew of the iconic supermodel Helena Christensen and has appeared in over 100 matches in Denmark’s top league.

Upon the announcement on New Year’s Eve, he expressed his enthusiasm: “I’m incredibly excited!

“Experiencing the club and its facilities is simply amazing.

“This club has grand ambitions, with the goal of returning to the Premier League, and I will do everything in my power to assist in achieving that.”

Christensen, 56, was crowned Miss Universe Denmark in 1986 and represented her country at the Miss Universe pageant.

She later embarked on a successful modeling career, featuring on the covers of magazines such as Vogue, Elle, and Tatler.

Sonne has also dabbled in the modeling industry, following in his aunt’s footsteps, having collaborated with brands like Gucci and Armani.

He stated, “There was a period when I did quite a bit of modeling.

“I had fantastic opportunities abroad with many top brands that resonate among young audiences. It was a great experience to explore that side of my career.”
