The Danish forward Jakob Breum, born on 17 November 2003, currently provides his services for Go Ahead Eagles. Primarily known for his versatility on the left wing, Breum stands at a moderate height of 5ft 8in (1.73m) and has a weight of 10st 12lb (69kg). For the Eagles, he proudly dons the number 7 jersey on his back. As per Transfermarkt, his current market value hovers around the region of £4.3m.
Breum first stepped into professional football terrain in July 2018, when he joined Odense BK in the Superliga—the top professional league in Danish football. He got his debut opportunity to impress in the 2019-20 season, albeit it was restricted to a solitary league appearance. The following 2021-22 season saw him garner more attention from the team, leading to 21 league appearances in which the forward managed to find the back of the net four times. The subsequent season didn't add any goals to his tally, but he continued to be a fixture in the lineup with another 21 league appearances.
In July 2023, Breum made a significant move from Odense BK to Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie—the Dutch Premier League. His first season with the Eagles was marked by taking the field in 32 league games where he bagged three goals. However, it was in the 2024-2025 season that he truly shone with ten goals across 26 league appearances. As for the current 2025-2026 season, Breum has already made his presence felt by starting in three league matches.
Additionally, the young Dane's contribution to Go Ahead Eagles extends to their cup campaigns. During the KNVB Beker 2024 - 2025 (The Kingdom of the Netherlands Football Cup), he made starts in three games and capped it off with a splendid goal. In the Johan Cruijff Schaal 2025 - 2026 (The Johan Cruyff Shield), Breum had the opportunity to represent the Eagles with one starting appearance.
