Early life
Jensen was born in Hillerød, Denmark, he began his youth career at Hillerød GI[1] before going on to F.C. Nordsjælland where he has played since he was 13 years old, signing his first contract with the club at age 16.[2] He would later go on trial with Celtic, but decided against a move to the Scottish club stating that though moving to a large foreign club would be a dream move, moving at 16 years of age was too young and that staying at FCN would be better for his development.[3]
