William Clem, born on 20 June 2004 (age 22), is a Danish central defensive midfielder whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at FC Copenhagen. He wears squad number 36 and has grown into a regular part of their midfield picture rather than a passing academy name.
Across five seasons with Copenhagen, Clem has made 84 league appearances and scored twice. His strongest attacking return came in 2025-26, when he scored both of those league goals in 24 appearances. In 2026-27, he has added nine league appearances, six in Conference League qualifying with one goal, and one European play-off outing, giving him 16 appearances and two goals in all competitions for the club.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in July 2026, a rumour that put him briefly on the radar here without changing the shape of his career. His market value is around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.
Clem remains a developing midfielder, but his record is already substantial for his age. To this point, his career is plainly a Copenhagen one: steady minutes, a defined role, and a growing body of European and domestic experience.
