Youth career

Tengstedt started playing football at local club Nibe Boldklub, where his father, Kim Tengstedt, was his coach for several years.[1] At the age of 11, Tengstedt moved to Aalborg Freja before joining AaB as a U13 player. After a half year at AaB, he was named AaB U13 player of the year.[1] On his 15th birthday, 30 June 2015, Tengstedt signed a two-year youth contract with AaB.[1]

In the summer 2017, Tengstedt tore his cruciate ligament and was sidelined for one year.[3] The injury ruined his first year as a U19 player and when he returned, he played with the second U19 team. He returned to the best U19 team in October 2018.

Club career

AaB

On 11 June 2019, AaB confirmed that Tengstedt was one out of five players who had been promoted permanently to the first team squad.[4] Tengstedt had a contract until 30 June 2020.

Tengstedt made his official debut for AaB on 22 September 2019 against FC Nordsjælland in the Danish Superliga.[5] He started on the bench but replaced Mikkel Kaufmann with 18 minutes left of the game. After four Danish Superliga games for AaB, Tengstedt was surprisingly selected for the Danish national under-21 team.[6]

AGF

On 16 July 2020, Tengstedt signed a four-year contract with AGF.[7]
