Mads has an incredible mentality and suits our playing style in Salzburg perfectly with his way of playing. He is very versatile too and can be used anywhere in midfield. Mads has played in a few different countries already, and already has quite a bit of experience. He will do our team a lot of good as a person and a player.

I know the philosophy of the club and the way that Red Bull Salzburg play football. I am a player who likes to be aggressive, fast and to play attacking football in a young team. It is the perfect step for me to move here. My compatriot Maurits Kjaergaard told me everything about life here in Salzburg, of course, and I have only heard good things. That made the decision even easier for me.
