Serie A outfit Lazio have signed the 21-year old defender Oliver Provstgaard from Vejle Boldklub on a contract allegedly valid until the summer of 2029.

In Lazio, Provstgaard, who is captain of the U21 national team, will team up with Gustav Isaksen, who has been at the Italian club for a year and a half. 

In Lazio, the defender has been granted shirt number 25. 

"Vejle Boldklub has always meant and still means a lot to me. It is a club that has laid out a plan for my football development since I joined as a mere 13-year-old", says Provstgaard to Vejle´s website. 

"A club that supported me when I faced challenges, and a club that has developed me both as a person and as a player. Throughout my time at VB, I have met skilled coaches, teammates and good people in and around the club."

"Now I am taking the next step in my career, and it is based on hard work and my time at Vejle Boldklub. "

"I would like to say thank you to everyone who has crossed my VB path. Whether it's fans, employees of the club, volunteers, coaches or teammates."

21-year-old Provstgaard has played 91 matches and scored three goals for Vejle.
