Jens Stryger Larsen (Danish pronunciation: [ˈjεns ˈsdʁyə ˈlɑˀsn̩]; born 21 February 1991) is a Danish footballer who currently plays as a defender for Udinese.

Club career

Stryger Larsen made his debut for Brøndby IF starting against FC Nordsjælland in November 2009 before being replaced by Jan Kristiansen after an hour. During his time at Brøndby, he quickly became very popular among Brøndby supporters because of his energy, and in the end of the 2009–2010 season and at the beginning of the 2010–2011 season he featured regularly in Brøndby's team, keeping players such as Sweden international Alexander Farnerud on the bench. In August 2010 he was named as one of the greatest talents in Denmark by the Danish media, and at 23 September, Danish football magazine Tipsbladet reported interest in him from Serie A club Genoa.[2][3]

International career

Stryger Larsen was called up to the senior Denmark squad to face Liechtenstein and Armenia in August 2016.[4] He made his debut in the friendly match against Liechtenstein on 31 August 2016, and he scored the final goal in the Danish 5-0 victory.[5]

In May 2018 he was named in Denmark's preliminary 35-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[6]
