Jensen is a product of the Nordsjælland academy and began his senior career with the club in 2016. Following two seasons as a regular member of the team, he transferred to Celta Vigo in 2018. After an injury-hit 2018–19 season, he transferred to Brentford and was a part of the squad which was promoted to the Premier League in 2021. A former Denmark youth international, Jensen made his full international debut in 2020.


Club career



Nordsjælland


A midfielder, Jensen progressed through the academy at Nordsjælland and signed a three-year professional contract in January 2015.[4][5] He was promoted into the first team squad for the 2015–16 season and made five appearances during the campaign, scoring one goal, which came in a 2–2 draw with Randers on 1 May 2016.[1] Jensen was a regular in the 2016–17 season, making 22 appearances,[6] before 2017–18 proved to be his breakthrough season.[1] He made 36 appearances, scored 12 goals, was awarded the captaincy and his achievements were recognised by the DBU and his club,[7] with the DBU 2017 Talent of the Year and FC Nordsjælland Player of the Year awards respectively.[8][9] After three early 2018–19-season appearances, Jensen departed Nordsjælland in August 2018.[10] During just over three seasons as a professional at Farum Park, Jensen made 66 appearances and scored 15 goals.[1]


Celta Vigo


On 8 August 2018, Jensen moved to Spain joining La Liga club Celta Vigo on a five-year contract.[10] During an injury-affected 2018–19 season, he made just six appearances and left the club in July 2019.[11][12]


Brentford


On 10 July 2019, Jensen moved to England signing with Championship club Brentford on a four-year contract, with the option of an additional year, for an undisclosed fee,[12] reported to be £3.5 million.[13] He made 43 appearances and scored one goal during the 2019–20 season,[14] which ended with defeat in the 2020 Championship play-off Final.[15] Jensen made a career high 53 appearances during the 2020–21 season and celebrated promotion to the Premier League with victory in the 2021 Championship play-off Final.[16][17] As a result of suffering a "badly gashed" foot while away on international duty, Jensen missed Brentford's entire 2021–22 pre-season and the first three matches of the regular season.[18][19] Restricted to a mix of starting and substitute roles,[20][21] Jensen made 35 appearances during the season.[19]

Entering the final year of his contract,[21] Jensen began the 2022–23 season in a starting role.[1] His performance and first Premier League goal in a 4–0 win over Manchester United on 13 August 2022 was recognised with the man of the match award.[22][23]


International career


Jensen made 30 appearances and scored 3 goals for Denmark between U18 and U21 level.[24] He was a part of Denmark's squads at the 2017 and 2019 European U21 Championships.[24] Jensen was named in the senior team's preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 World Cup,[25] but he was not included in the final squad.[12] In October 2020, Jensen won a late call-up to the full Denmark squad for a series of three matches, as a replacement for injured Brentford teammate Christian Nørgaard.[26] He made his full international debut with a start in a 4–0 friendly win over the Faroe Islands on 7 October and scored his first full international goal on his fifth cap, in a 8–0 2022 World Cup qualifying win over Moldova on 28 March 2021.[24] Jensen was named in the Denmark squad for Euro 2020 and he appeared as a substitute in each of the six matches during the Danes' run to the semi-final.[27][28] On 7 November 2022, Jensen was named in Denmark's initial 21-man selection for the 2022 World Cup.[29]


Personal life


Jensen is a Manchester United and Barcelona supporter.[30]
