Coventry City have made their first signing of the January transfer window by bringing in Victor Torp.

The 24-year-old Danish central midfielder has signed for an undisclosed fee from Norwegian top-flight side Sarpsborg 08.

Subject to international clearance, he has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal until June 2028.

“He is a player who brings to us creativity and athleticism,” said Sky Blues manager Mark Robins.

“He will need a period of adjustment but we are confident that he will adapt to the intensity and demands of training and the Championship.”

The former Denmark Under-20 international began his career with FC Midtjylland in his native Denmark.

He joined Belgian side KV Kortrijk for the 2021-22 campaign on loan before moving to Sarpsborg, where he scored six times last season in 30 appearances.

After another faltering start to the season, last season’s beaten Championship play-off finalists Coventry are now unbeaten in eight league and cup games – and have risen to eighth, three points shy of the top six, going into Saturday’s derby with leaders Leicester City.
