Impact Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo and David Raya were among the best players for Brentford during the 2022-23 season, but it would be unfair not to include Jensen in that group, either. He started all but one match while being in the top-three in both goals and assists for the club. The Denmark international also started all three matches for his country in the 2022 World Cup, and he should remain a pivotal player for the Bees next season, as he's only 27 years old and entering his prime.
