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

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. After which, he 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, Heiselberg returned to Midtjylland.[11]

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