Early years edit
Jensen-Abbew started his career at B1973 in Herlev, before joining AB as a U15 player. In September 2018, 16-year old Jensen-Abbew also went on a trial at English Premier League club Tottenham's U18 team.[1]

As a U17 player, in January 2019, Jensen-Abbew joined FC Nordsjælland.[2] In his first six months in Nordsjælland, he won the Danish U17 league with his team. His first year as a U19 player, the 2019-20 season, was plagued by injuries for Jensen-Abbew, but it turned into six U18 national matches that season, and he also played a number of matches for the club's first team, against a number of Danish 1st Division clubs in the winter training matches. In the 2020–21 season, Jensen-Abbew captained the U19 team.[2]
