Thomas Thiesson Kristensen (born 17 January 2002), also known as TK, is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Serie A club Atalanta, on loan from Serie A club Udinese. Thomas is the brother of Kasper Kristensen.

Club career

Kristensen joined AGF at the age of 11 in 2013 from Galten FS, where he had been since he was five years old.[1] He later spent one season at Vejle Boldklub – in 2017–18 – before returning to AGF again.[1]

In September 2020, Kristensen signed a three-year deal with AGF, which also saw him promoted to the first-team squad in the summer of 2021.[2][1] He made his official debut for AGF on 16 May 2021 in a Danish Superliga game against Nordsjælland.[3] Kristensen made a total of three appearances in the 2020–21 season. In June 2021, he was awarded the Martin Jørgensen Talent Award: an award named after AGF legend Martin Jørgensen.[4]

After five appearances and one goal in the first half of the 2021–22 season, Kristensen signed a new contract until December 2026 with AGF on 1 December 2021.[5]

On 1 September 2023, Kristensen signed a five-year contract with Udinese in Italy.[6]

On 13 August 2026, Kristensen signed for fellow Serie A club Atalanta on a one-season loan deal with a conditional option to buy.[7]
