Julian Eskesen

Julian Eskesen of Dundee United was born in Odense, Denmark on 16 March 1999 (age 27).

Julian Eskesen is a Danish centre midfielder, born on 16 March 1999 (age 27), who has built his senior career away from home and is now part of the Dundee United squad, wearing number 14.

His most productive league season came in 2022 with Haugesund, where he scored three goals in 26 appearances. That remains the clearest statistical marker of his career so far: a midfielder capable of contributing from the middle of the park without being defined by goals.

In 2025-26, Eskesen has made 14 league appearances for Dundee United, scoring once. He has also played three times in the League Cup and once in the Scottish Cup, where he scored, giving him 18 appearances and two goals across all competitions for the club.

Eskesen’s career has been that of an established professional midfielder rather than a headline act: Danish background, a productive spell at Haugesund, and a Scottish chapter with Dundee United still taking shape.

Eskesen is 27, plays in centre midfield and is from Denmark. His career has taken him through Odense BK, Sonderjyske, Haugesund and Dundee United, moving from Denmark to Norway and then Scotland. That trajectory suggests a player who has built a senior career across northern European leagues rather than settling at one club.
