Club career

Ajax

On 2 June 2017, 17-years 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 for Jong Ajax 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.

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 0–1 loss.[9]
