Defender Alexander Jensen has left Aberdeen to join Swedish top-flight side IF Elfsborg for an undisclosed fee after being told he would not be an automatic starter at Pittodrie.
The 24-year-old Dane joined from IF Brommapojkarna in January 2025 and went on to be part of the Dons’ Scottish Cup-winning side in May last year.
Jensen, a regular starter under previous boss Jimmy Thelin, leaves with 55 appearances to his name. “We received a good offer from Elfsborg for Alex and it’s one we all felt was right,” manager Stephen Robinson told the Aberdeen website.

“Alex is a great lad who always gave his best for the club, but I was honest with him in saying that he probably wouldn’t be an automatic starter next season.
“There is already strong competition in that area of the pitch with Nicky Devlin and Dylan Lobban, while both Lewis Mayo and Brad Lyons are also comfortable playing there.
“Despite that, Alex has continued to train brilliantly and conduct himself in an exemplary manner. I can’t speak highly enough of his professionalism. He leaves with a Scottish Cup winner’s medal and the thanks of everyone at Pittodrie and Cormack Park.
"We wish him every success back in Sweden.”
