Nicolai Møller Boilesen (born 16 February 1992) is a Danish professional footballer, who currently plays for Ajax Amsterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie championship. He has played 48 games for various Danish youth national teams.
Career
AFC Ajax
Boilesen started playing football in local amateur clubs in Ballerup and Skovlunde,[1] before joining top-flight club Brøndby IF in 2004.[2] As a left-footed central defender, Boilesen saw Danish senior international and former Brøndby player Daniel Agger as his role-model.[2] Boilesen made his debut for the Denmark national under-17 football team in July 2007, and played a total 38 games for various Danish youth teams in his time at Brøndby.[3]
As his Brøndby contract expired in December 2009, Boilesen agreed a move to the Netherlands, with Ajax paying Brøndby 4 million DKK in compensation.[4] Boilesen had already trained with Manchester United and was followed by a number of European clubs, but chose Ajax on advice from fellow Danish youth international and Ajax player Christian Eriksen.[5] He made his professional debut on 3 April 2011, as he played the second half of Ajax' 3–0 victory against Heracles Almelo.[6]
