Eskesen’s career has moved through four clubs: Odense BK, Sonderjyske, Haugesund and Dundee United. He began at Odense BK as a trainee in 2016, moved to Sonderjyske in 2020, then spent the next stage with Haugesund from 2022 before joining Dundee United in 2025. The path suggests a steady move from Denmark to Norway and then Scotland, rather than a rapid rise through one domestic system.

Eskesen’s transfer history is relatively measured. His move from Odense BK to Sonderjyske in January 2020 was a free transfer, while the subsequent moves to Haugesund in March 2022 and Dundee United in August 2025 were both undisclosed deals. Dundee United committed a fee of some kind to bring him from Haugesund, which framed the move as a targeted addition rather than a short-term free-market punt.
