AZ acquired Jensen from Viborg for 4 million euros last year, and the 22-year-old played 33 matches for the Eredivisie side last season, scoring 2 goals and providing 5 assists. However, Jensen did not feature in AZ's match against FC Utrecht, and he will also miss the upcoming match against Fortuna Sittard. This suggests that Jensen's playing time at AZ was limited, and the club has now decided to loan him out.
Voetbal International reports that Lorient has taken up the option to loan Jensen for a year, with the possibility of making the move permanent if the player performs well. Jensen's contract with AZ runs until 2030, so the Eredivisie side will retain the player's services for the long term. The loan deal is a significant development in Jensen's career, and it will be interesting to see how he adapts to playing in France.
Lorient's decision to loan Jensen suggests that the French club is looking to strengthen its squad, and the Danish winger could be an important addition to the team. Jensen's experience in the Eredivisie will also be valuable as he adjusts to the French league. The loan deal is a significant move for both AZ and Lorient, and it will be worth keeping an eye on Jensen's progress in the coming months.
The loan deal is set to run for a year, with Lorient having the option to buy Jensen from AZ if they choose to do so.
