Joining FC Copenhagen's youth department KB as 13-years old, Jakob Busk Jensen has been through a massive development, making him one of the most interesting young goalkeepers in Denmark.
The 19-year old keeper has been a regular name on the match sheet throughout his youth career in KB and for the Danish national youth teams. Jakob Busk appreciates the pressure of being part of one of the top Scandinavian clubs.
"The expectations to you are higher, but so are the club's resources as well", says the goalkeeper.
Assistant Manager, Brian Reimer said in an interview with FCK's own news channel fckobenhavntv about the young keeper:
"He is a top professional player, who has been used to, through his youth matches for the national team and as a part of the captain group on our own U19 team, to take responsibility. His act and his approach, as well as his humility of being a reserve have been fantastic."
And added, "He is a goalkeeper, whom I hope we will see more to in FC Copenhagen."
Jakob Busk has so far represented his nation in 20 matches on a youth level, 11 of them on the U19. Here, he was a part of the team playing the European Qualification and reaching the Elite round where they ended as second. Furthermore, the goalkeeper was selected for the U20 team participating in the NI Milk Cup last summer.
Despite, having tasted success with the national team, Busk is not longing to take the next step:
"In these matches you meet some of the best youth players in the world, and it is great to have as a ballast. However, I am not thinking about the U21 national team. I am sure it will come if it is meant to be."
In Copenhagen, the talent is the third choice after Johan Wiland and Kim Christensen, two goalkeepers with a lot of routine. However, Busk are happy to learn from his two colleagues and is willing to wait for his chance as he is sure it will come sooner or later.
At the same time, the Busk Jensen admits that, at some point, he needs to get a breakthrough and play more matches.
"I can't be a reserve for ever, but I'm taking it slow and not thinking about chancing club," the keeper says.
The future looks bright for Jakob Busk Jensen as he has the support needed from the club and is expected to be representing the club some day. The keeper himself, only has one goal; to reach his potential.
