Gustav Isaksen, who was born on 19th April 2001 (making him 23 years of age), hails from the heartland of Denmark. A frontline player by trade, he principally operates from the right wing for his present club, Lazio. Standing at a height of 5 feet 9 inches (1.77m) and with a bodyweight of 10 stone 5 lbs (66Kg), he dons the jersey bearing the number 18. Besides his club football, Isaksen has also adorned the national colours, representing Denmark at international stage.
Despite his young age, his worth in the transfer market has already hit the roof, estimated to be in the region of €12.00m (£10.2m), according to Transfermarkt. His tenure at Lazio is contracted to be quite a lengthy one, with a remaining term of 3 years and 9 months, coming to an end on 30th June 2028.
Isaksen's roots in football go back to July 2017 when he joined FC Midtjylland in the Superliga in Denmark as a trainee. He gradually made his way into the first team over the course of few seasons. His debut season (2019-2020) saw him make 14 appearances in league football for FC Midtjylland. The following season, he made 22 appearances and scored his first league goal. His time at Midtjylland started to be noticed in the 2021-2022 season, making 30 appearances and netting five times. The 2022-2023 season saw him make 31 appearances, and his 18 goals undeniably turned a few heads.
In what was a fruitful tenure at FC Midtjylland, Isaksen transferred from Denmark to the Italian Serie A, landing himself at Lazio in August 2023, for a whopping fee of approximately £10m. Since then, he has registered his mark on the Italian league as well, making 28 appearances and scoring thrice in his first season (2023-2024). The current season (2024-2025) already sees him with seven first-team appearances and a goal to his name.
Isaksen's wealth of talent has transcended domestic football, with his participation in Champions League 2023-2024 for Lazio (two starts and three appearances as a substitute), the Supercoppa 2023-2024 (one appearance as a substitute), and the Europa League 2024-2025 (one appearance as a substitute).
