Norwich City have completed the signing of Danish international forward Mathias Kvistgaarden from Brøndby IF for an undisclosed fee.

The 23-year-old joins the Canaries on a four-year deal with an option for an additional year.

In the 2024/25 campaign, Kvistgaarden scored 23 goals in 38 appearances for the Danish club, also registering seven assists.

Ahead of joining the Canaries, he said: "Hopefully, I can come with a lot of energy as I did in my former club. Energy and positiveness, a big smile on my face every day.

"I've heard so much about the club, I've talked with (Oscar) Schwartau and Anis (Ben Slimane) and they've only talked positive things about the club. When I had the interest from Norwich, I was just thinking that it could be a good match for me."

"I don't think that it's a secret that - it's also my goal here - we have to go up to the Premier League. That's the club's goal and also my goal."

City sporting director Ben Knapper added: “We’re absolutely thrilled to get this deal over the line and to welcome Mathias and his family to our club. Of course, for a player of this calibre, there was huge competition for his signature from right across Europe, but it speaks volumes for the work of everyone at Norwich City that he trusts us with the next step in his career.

“Our recruitment team, led fantastically by Lee Dunn, have been following Mathias closely and working on this for a considerable amount of time, and they must take huge credit for putting us in a position to do this deal. As should ownership; their support, ambition and resource have enabled this, and it’s an extremely exciting signing for everyone connected with the club.

“Mathias is a wonderfully talented, versatile attacking player who we believe will add another dimension to our team. His movement and ability to attack space is elite, and the spirit with which he plays will endear and connect him to our supporters immediately. We firmly believe that he has great room to further develop and, in our environment, we are sure we can take him and his game to new levels.

“He is hungry and motivated to push both himself and us on in our quest to reach the Premier League.”

Since his breakthrough into the Brøndby first team, the young Dane has made 126 appearances, with many of them coming alongside current Norwich players Anis Ben Slimane and Oscar Schwartau.

He won the Danish Superliga title in 2021 with Brøndby while he was included in the league's team of the season for 2024/25.

Those performances also earned him his debut for the Danish national side in June 2025.

The transfer is subject to international clearance and approval by The FA and EFL.
