Alexander Jensen, born on 24th August 2001 (now 23 years old) in Denmark, plies his trade as a defender, specifically a right back, for the Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen. Standing at 1.8m (5ft 10in) and weighing in at 70kg (11 stone), Jensen's solid build makes him a formidable presence on the field. Currently donning the number 28 jersey, Jensen's abilities as a defender are widely recognised.
As per Transfermarkt, Jensen's current market value is approximately £1m — certainly not an inconsequential amount. Jensen has a remaining contract term with Aberdeen stretching on for three years and eight months, expected to elapse on 31st December 2028.
Jensen's journey to Aberdeen saw him traverse several football leagues across Europe. Back in September of 2020, he started his senior career at FC Fredericia in the 1st Division, Denmark's second-tier football league. After gaining some experience there, Jensen made a move to IF Brommapojkarna in the Swedish Allsvenskan in January 2023, for an undisclosed fee.
His debut season in 2023 with IF Brommapojkarna saw Jensen garner much praise. Making a total of 30 appearances for the first team, he managed to slot in an impressive two goals in league games. Jensen remained consistent for the 2024 season, matching the previous season's 30 appearances and upping his goal tally to three.
It was in January 2025, Jensen's flourishing career saw a new chapter beginning in the Scottish Premiership. Secured by Aberdeen for a fee of roughly £550k, he was primed to demonstrate his prowess on Scottish soil. In his ongoing season (2024-2025) with Aberdeen, Jensen has made a commendable 12 first team appearances in the league.
In addition to his league exploits, Jensen has also showcased his talents in the Scottish Cup during the 2024 – 2025 season for Aberdeen – firing home one goal in a total of four starts. Clearly, the Danish defender has rapidly become an integral part of Aberdeen's defensive line-up, and the fans will surely be looking forward to more of his contributions in the seasons to come.
