Lyngby Boldklub has loaned midfielder Aksel Jørgensen to Norwegian side Sandnes Ulf. The 19-year-old talent leaves the Danish Superliga club with immediate effect and will spend the remainder of the 2026 season in Norway, as the club reported this week.
Aksel Jørgensen, who made his Superliga debut for Lyngby in September 2025, spent the last six months on loan at FC Helsingør. He now moves to the Norwegian club, where he has already completed his medical at Øster Hus Arena. Sandnes Ulf's sporting director, Cleveland, expressed great satisfaction with the deal, stating: "Aksel er en veldig god ballspiller som tar ansvar med ball og holder et høyt teknisk nivå." The player himself is also excited: "Jeg er takknemlig for å få sjansen og gleder meg til å komme i gang."
Why is Lyngby loaning out Jørgensen?
Lyngby Boldklub finds itself in a challenging position in the Superliga. After five games of the new season, the team sits in 11th place with just two points. They have won zero matches, drawn two, and lost three. Their most recent match was a 2-1 defeat to AC Horsens on August 23rd. With six goals scored and ten conceded, the team has a goal difference of minus four. They trail league leaders Brøndby by a full 11 points.
In this context, loaning out a young player like Jørgensen for more playing time elsewhere can be a strategic move. He had limited opportunities at Lyngby after his debut and was subsequently sent to Helsingør. Now he gets a chance in another league. The team's next challenge is a home match against OB on August 30th, a side that sits in seventh place. You can follow the full schedule on our fixtures page.
What does it mean for Sandnes Ulf?
For the Norwegian receiving club, Jørgensen arrives as an important boost. Sandnes Ulf reportedly has three key midfielders injured: Kostadinov, Nsoni, and Bàrdarson. Cleveland, the club's sporting director, believes the Danish teenager will fit in well at Øster Hus Arena. "He is a player who takes responsibility with the ball and maintains a high technical level," Cleveland reiterated.
Jørgensen's own desire to move to Norway and specifically to Sandnes Ulf also played a role in finalizing the deal. He sees it as an opportunity to develop and secure regular first-team football. The agreement runs until the end of the 2026 season, giving all parties time to evaluate the situation next winter.
What does Lyngby's current squad look like?
The loan of Jørgensen occurs while Lyngby is managing other absences. According to the latest updates, O. Snorre is currently sidelined with an injury. This places demands on the squad's depth. The team's recent results show a form of zero wins, two draws, and two losses in their last four matches (LDDL).

What happens next for Aksel Jørgensen?
The young midfielder now has the opportunity to establish himself in the Norwegian league. His previous experience from his Superliga debut and loan spell at Helsingør has given him a foundation. Now he must show he can contribute to Sandnes Ulf's fight against injury problems and help the team move forward.
For Lyngby Boldklub, the focus remains on improving results in the domestic league. With an important match against OB just around the corner and a squad that needs optimizing, there is no time to waste. The deal with Sandnes Ulf gives the club a chance to monitor Jørgensen's development closely while he gets the playing time he needs.
