Growing up in Hjerk, Salling, Isaksen moved to the Midtjylland academy from Roslev IK at under-12-level, after having started playing football as a three-year-old.[2]

After he signed his first professional contract in May 2019 – a five-year deal –[3] he made his debut on 25 August 2019 in the Danish Superliga when he came on as a substitute for Awer Mabil in the 78th minute of the 2–0 away win over SønderjyskE.[4] He made his first ever start on 29 September in a 1–0 loss to OB in the domestic league.[5] At the end of the season, Midtjylland won the Superliga title, with Isaksen recording 15 appearances.[6]

On 25 November 2020, Isaksen made his first European appearance, coming on as a substitute for Anders Dreyer in the 82nd minute of a 3–1 loss to Ajax in the UEFA Champions League group stage.[7] He scored his first professional goal on 11 February 2021 in the Danish Cup quarter-final first leg against OB. Starting as a right winger, he netted the 2–1 winner.[8]

On 20 February 2023, Isaksen scored his first hat-trick in Midtjylland's spring opener against Viborg, which ended in a 4–0 victory.[9] He finished top scorer in the 2023-24 Danish Superliga season.

On 8 August 2023, he was signed by Italian club S.S. Lazio.[10] He scored his first goal for the club on 30 December 2023, scoring the second goal in Lazio's 3-1 victory over Frosinone Calcio.

International career

[edit]

Isaksen played for various Danish national youth teams. On 4 September 2020, he made his Denmark under-21 debut in a 1–1 draw against Ukraine, coming on as a substitute for Rasmus Carstensen in the 81st minute.[11]

He was a part of Denmark's under-21 squad for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.[12]
