‘Absolutely crazy numbers’: Exciting verdict on reported Portsmouth and Sheffield United target Renzo Tytens
Pompey have been linked with Lyngby left-back Renzo Tytens ahead of the January window.
Pompey have been given a glowing reference over reported transfer target Renzo Tytens.
The Blues are believed to be ‘monitoring’ the Lyngby left-back, who has excelled in Denmark’s top flight this term.
The report states Championship rivals Sheffield United are also interested along with Ligue 1 outfit Toulouse, but claims Pompey are ‘the most concrete option’ at present.
Tytens has featured 14 times for Lyngby in the Danish Superliga this term following their promotion from the Bentinia Liga last season, where he played a key role in their title success.
Reported Pompey target’s ‘crazy numbers’
Following his capture from Club NXT in January, defender has totalled 28 appearances in all competitions, netting two goals and registering two assists.
But less than 12 months after his switch to the Lyngby Stadion, the full-back, who has been called up to represent Belgium U21 in the forthcoming international break, is already being touted with a move away.
After his January arrival, Lyngby joint head coach Andreas Bjelland insisted Tytens’ numbers excelled and alerted his scouting department.
He told Tipsbladet at the time: ‘Our scouting department and sports director have done a fantastic job finding Renzo, who we think is a good fit. He's not Gustav Mortensen, but he's a bit like that.
‘He can produce some absolutely crazy numbers and has a good foot and has proven to be really, really important for us already.’
Renzo Tytens’ attacking strengths
While Tytens’ figures continue to impress at Lyngby, the left-back himself explained the exciting traits which set him apart.
The Belgian youth international, who has nine caps to his name, insisted the Royal Blues’ attacking style of play unlocks his strengths.
He added: ‘Lyngby is a traditional club that in my view belongs in the top division, and it is both my and the club’s clear ambition that we get back up there by the summer.
‘That’s what I’ll give everything for. I’m attracted to the attacking playing style at Lyngby Boldklub, which suits my strengths well, and after many good talks with the people at Lyngby, who have shown great trust that I can develop even more here, I feel we are a good match.
‘It has been fantastic. Football-wise, the first three league games have been really good. I was really happy to score my first goal and get my first assist, and that we have won every game so far.
‘It has been almost perfect. I have also moved into my own apartment and settled in, and I feel welcome in the team. The players are really nice to me, and I fit in well, so overall it has been good.’
