Club career

Early years

Tekşen started playing football at an early age in Ishøj with local club SB 50.[2] He soon moved to the Brøndby youth academy, where he initially struggled. At under-13 level, he was not among the best players and his development stagnated, which he later attributed to a poor relationship to his coaches.[2] The following year new academy coaches were hired, and as an under-14 level player Tekşen began progressing, which made him stay at the club.[2] In October 2016, as part of the under-17 team, he signed a two-year contract extension, which would keep him at the club until under-19 level.[2]

Lyngby

During the summer of 2019, Tekşen moved to the under-19 team of Lyngby Boldklub, after two successive unsuccessful trials at Nykøbing FC and FC Roskilde.[3][4][5] He made his first-team debut on 29 November 2019 in a Danish Superliga matchup against FC Nordsjælland, coming on as a 60th-minute substitute for Emilio Simonsen as the match ended 1–1.[6] On 10 March 2020, Tekşen signed a one-year contract extension with Lyngby keeping him part of the club until at least 31 December 2020.[7][8][6]

Konyaspor

On 9 January 2021, it was announced that Tekşen would sign a two-and-a-half-year contract with Turkish Süper Lig club Konyaspor.[9] He was officially presented by the club on 13 January.[10]

On 21 January, he was sent on loan to the feeder club 1922 Konyaspor on a one-and-a-half-year deal.[11] He made his debut for the club on 27 January, coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute of a TFF Second League match against Sakaryaspor, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[12] He scored his first goal for the club on 3 February in a 2–0 win over Karacabey Belediyespor, which was also his first senior goal.[13][14]

He had his contract terminated by mutual consent in the summer of 2021.[15]

Næstved

In September 2021, Tekşen returned to Denmark to sign for Næstved Boldklub competing in the third tier 2nd Division, after a successful trial.[15] He made his debut on 3 October in a 2–1 win over FA 2000.[16]

Niğde Anadolu

On 15 February 2022, Tekşen signed with TFF Second League club Niğde Anadolu.[17]

International career

Tekşen has represented Turkey at under-16 level, gaining five caps in which he scored one goal.[2][18]
