Christian Emil Tue Jensen (born 9 March 2000) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for HB Køge.

Jensen is a product of the FC Midtjylland academy and played his first senior football on loan at FC Fredericia. He transferred to Finnish club KuPS in 2022, but following an abortive spell, he returned to Denmark with HB Køge in 2023. Capped by Denmark at youth level, Jensen has been described as "a forward capable of waspish delivery with his right foot".[3]

Club career[edit]

FC Midtjylland and loans[edit]

An attacking midfielder or winger,[4] Jensen began his career in the academy at Superliga club FC Midtjylland at age 13.[5] He signed his first professional contract in January 2017 and signed a new five-year contract in June 2018.[6][7] On 21 June 2019,[8] Jensen moved to England to join the B team at Championship club Brentford on loan for the duration of the 2019–20 season.[9] He was deployed as a forward.[10]

On 11 August 2020, Jensen joined Danish 1st Division club FC Fredericia on loan for the duration of the 2020–21 season.[11] He top-scored with 10 goals in 29 appearances to help the team to a fifth-place finish in the 1st Division's promotion group.[12][13] In June 2021, Jensen rejoined FC Fredericia on loan for the 2021–22 season and scored three goals in 29 appearances during a campaign in which the club repeated its finish from the previous season.[14][15] Jensen transferred away from FC Midtjylland in July 2022.[16]

KuPS[edit]

On 4 July 2022, Jensen transferred to Veikkausliiga club KuPS and signed an 18-month contract, with the option of a further year.[17] He became eligible to play on 13 July 2022 and made seven appearances during the remainder of the 2022 season.[12] Jensen was a part of the club's 2022 Finnish Cup-winning squad.[18] After making just four league appearances during the first three months of the 2023 season,[12] Jensen's "chaotic" spell with the club was ended when his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 1 July 2023.[19][20]

HB Køge[edit]

Following an unsuccessful trial with AC Horsens,[21] Jensen signed a two-year contract with Danish 1st Division club HB Køge on a free transfer on 1 September 2023.[22]

International career[edit]

Jensen won 31 caps and scored 12 goals for Denmark at youth level.[23]
