Aston Villa will hold talks with Danish club Lyngby Boldklub about forging a partnership, chief executive Keith Wyness has confirmed.

Villa are hoping to help the cash-strapped Danish Superliga club and have discussed the possibility at length.

"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,” Wyness told Danish outlet BT.

Villa have recently linked up with Danish giants Brondby and academy coaches have interchanged between the two to help provide a different perspective.

Brentford’s current partnership with Danish table-toppers FC Midtjylland is also something Villa have looked at and been impressed with.

Wyness added: "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 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.”
