Club career edit
Youth years edit
Divković started his career at his local football club Polet Donje Novo Selo in Donje Novo Selo, before moving on to the bigger NK Otok. He was subsequently scouted by Arsenal scouts and moved to Arsenal's Greek academy based in Loutraki.[2] At the beginning on 2017, Divković joined DAC Dunajská Streda.[2]
DAC Dunajská Streda edit
Divković made his Fortuna Liga debut for DAC against Železiarne Podbrezová on 22 July 2017. He was fielded in the second half as a replacement for Slovak international Erik Pačinda, who scored the match's sole goal - DAC had beaten Podbrezová 1:0.[3]
Brøndby edit
On 31 August 2021, Divković joined Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy.[4] He made his debut on 16 September in a 0–0 draw against Sparta Prague in the UEFA Europa League group stage. He came on as a substitute for Mikael Uhre in the 69th minute.[5][6] His debut in the domestic league followed three days later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Simon Hedlund in a 1–0 loss away to SønderjyskE.[7]
On 3 March 2022, Brøndby IF announced that they had triggered the option to buy, and Divković signed a four-year contract with the club, starting in July 2022.[8]
At the beginning of the 2023–24 season, Divković, under the guidance of head coach Jesper Sørensen, transformed into a left wing-back following the departure of Blas Riveros.[9] He quickly secured a starting position in that role, receiving acclaim for his performances, particularly his proficiency in advancing up the field and delivering accurate crosses, resulting in multiple assists.[10] He was named in the Superliga Team of the Month for September 2023.[11]
International career edit
In August 2019, Divković received a pre-invitation to the Croatia U21 team, but did not feature in any matches.[12]
