Brighton technical director David Weir said:
We’re delighted to welcome Simon to the club. He’s an exciting young player who has had a terrific start to his career in Denmark.
He’s a creative offensive player who can play on both sides and is very good in one-on-one situations.
He’s a talented young player who we’ve had an eye on for a while, and we’re looking forward to helping him with his development.
