Club career

[edit]

Ajax

[edit]

On 2 June 2017, the 17-year-old Jensen officially signed for Ajax from FC Copenhagen's youth sector.[2][3] Jensen would join the club's U19 squad on 1 July due to his young age. Copenhagen sold Jensen for about €3.5 million which made him the most expensive player ever under 18 to be sold from Denmark.[4] In October 2017 Jensen was also nominated by The Guardian to the list of the 60 biggest talents born in 2000.[5]

In his first season at Ajax, he played 27 games for the U19 squad, scoring 6 goals. He also made his way to Jong Ajax making his Eerste Divisie debut on 12 January 2018 in a game against Fortuna Sittard.[6] From the 2018–19 season, he became a permanent part of the Jong Ajax squad.

Jensen made his first team debut on 11 January 2019 in a friendly game against Brazilian club Flamengo.[7]

Jensen made his Eredivisie debut for Ajax on 12 December 2020 in a game against PEC Zwolle as a 75th-minute substitute for Antony.

Loan to Nordsjælland

[edit]

On 1 February 2021, Jensen was sent on a six-month loan to Danish Superliga club Nordsjælland.[8] He made his debut for the club on 4 February against Brøndby which ended in a 1–0 loss.[9]

Loan to Rosenborg

[edit]

On 1 March 2022, it was announced that Jensen had extended his contract with Ajax until 2024, while undergoing his second loan spell, this time with Norwegian Eliteserien side Rosenborg BK, until the end of the year.[10]

Utrecht

[edit]

On 31 January 2023, Jensen officially joined Eredivisie side Utrecht on a permanent deal, signing a contract until June 2026 with the club.[11]
