Scouting Report & Player Insights
Jens Odgaard is a tall, physical Danish forward at Bologna who thrives as a target man, using his frame to hold up play, win aerial duels, and finish chances created by knockdowns and crosses. He became a cult figure in Bologna's 2024-25 campaign, scoring the opener in their Coppa Italia final win over Milan, and offers Vincenzo Italiano a willing, hard-working focal point up front.
