In the early stages of his career, circa July 2017, Isaksen joined FC Midtjylland in the Superliga based in Denmark as a trainee. In his debut season (2019-2020), he broke into the first team making 14 appearances in league matches. His libretto only improved from there, with 22 appearances and a goal to his name in the 2020-2021 season. His spark transformed into a blaze as the 2021-2022 season saw him make 30 appearances and score five goals. The following season, the 2022-2023 campaign, was his golden period at FC Midtjylland given his tally of 31 appearances and an impressive 18 goals. His final season at the club, the 2023-2024 campaign, ended abruptly comprising only two appearances.
In August 2023, Isaksen transferred from FC Midtjylland to the Italian team, Lazio, for a substantial fee of approximately £10 million.
