On 11 July 2022 it was confirmed, that Jensen had been sold to American MLS side St. Louis City, who would begin play in the 2023 season, with the player signing a deal until the end of 2026, with an option for one further year.[6]

Viborg FF

On 30 August 2023, Danish Superliga club Viborg FF confirmed that they had loaned Isaksen from St. Louis City for the 2023–24 season, with an option to buy at the end of the loan.[7] The loan moved proved to be successful as he scored seven goals from 27 appearances for the club, playing a key role in their late-season success.
