Frederik Alves Ibsen (born 8 November 1999) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a centre back for West Ham United.
Youth career
Due to Alves' Brazilian background, he travelled to visit some family in Brazil. Alves played with his cousins and took part in a few training matches, before he was spotted by an agent, which he made a deal with. The agent then brought 15-year old Alves to Coritiba.[1] Alves returned to Denmark after two years in Brazil and joined Silkeborg.
Club career
In the summer 2018, 19-year old Alves signed a one-year trainee-contract with Silkeborg which meant, that he was going to train with the first team but play with the U19's.[2] On 26 September 2018, Alves got his official debut for Silkeborg in a Danish Cup game against Næstved BK, where he was among the 11 starting players.[3] On 1 November 2018, he signed a new deal until the end of 2020.[4] Except for the following two games, Alves played all of the remaining games for Silkeborg and helped the team promoting to the Danish Superliga which also gained him a spot on the Danish U-20 national team.[5] On 1 June 2019, Alves signed a new contract until the summer 2024.[6]
On 4 November 2020, Silkeborg announced that they had sold Alves to an unnamed club,[7] believed to be English Premier League club West Ham United.[8] On 22 December 2020, West Ham announced the signing of Alves for an undisclosed fee, on a three-and-a-half year contract commencing on 2 January 2021.[9]
Personal life
Alves' mother is Brazilian, while his father is Danish. For this reason, Alves has dual citizenship although he was born and raised in Hvidovre, Denmark.[1]
