August Priske Flyger (born 23 March 2004) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL Championship club Birmingham City. He is the son of former Danish international footballer Brian Priske.

Career

Early career

Priske started playing in Denmark at AC Horsens, and then went to FC Copenhagen, where he played there for one and-a-half year. He then moved to FC Midtjylland.[2]

Priske went on loan from FC Midtjylland to PSV Eindhoven in September 2021.[3] He started playing for their under-18 team, and made his senior debut for Jong PSV in the Eerste Divisie in January 2022, scoring on his debut in a 5–1 win against Almere City.[4][5] The loan was repeated for the 2022–23 season but PSV stipulated an option to buy in the deal.[6][7]

Priske returned to Midtjylland ahead of the 2023–24 season and was given his Danish Superliga debut against Lyngby Boldklub on 6 August 2023.[8] However, two weeks later, he moved to Eerste Divisie side FC Eindhoven on a one-year loan deal and—at the same time—extended his contract with Midtjylland until June 2028.[9][10] After finishing his loan spell, Priske returned to Midtjylland.[11]

Djurgården

In August 2024, he signed for Allsvenskan club Djurgårdens IF Fotboll, agreeing to a four-year contract.[2] He made his debut for the club appearing as a substitute in the UEFA Conference League against Finnish side Ilves on 8 August 2024.[12]

In 2025, Priske scored 18 league goals in 27 games to finish top scorer in Sweden’s Allsvenskan and also featured prominently in the UEFA Conference League as Djurgården reached the semi-finals, where they were eventually beaten by Chelsea.[13]

Birmingham City

On 20 January 2026, Priske signed a five-and-a-half year contract at EFL Championship club Birmingham City, joining for an undisclosed fee.[13] He made his Blues debut on 24 January 2026 as a 56th-minute substitute in a 1–1 league draw with Stoke City.[14] On 2 May 2026, the last match of the season, he scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 league draw with Portsmouth at Fratton Park.[15]

International career

Priske has represented the Denmark national under-19 football team.[16]

Personal life

He was born in Belgium, and is the son of football manager and former Danish international football player Brian Priske.[17][1]
