Jens Odgaard, born on 31 March 1999 (age 27), is a Danish striker with Bologna, where he wears the number 21 shirt. His market value is around £13m, according to Transfermarkt.
His early senior career was shaped by loan football, a useful enough route for a young forward needing minutes rather than promises. Those spells helped push him towards a more settled level, with AZ giving him the platform for his best league return.
That came in 2022-23, when he scored nine goals in 29 league appearances for AZ. It remains the clearest marker of his productivity as a centre-forward: not spectacular, but solid, and enough to keep him moving upwards.
At Bologna in 2026-27, his season has been weighted towards European football. He has made 11 Europa League appearances, scoring two goals, along with one Serie A outing and two in the Supercoppa. Across all competitions for Bologna, he has made 14 appearances and scored two goals.
Odgaard’s career has moved from development loans into a productive spell at AZ and then on to Bologna. He is an established Danish forward still working to turn useful spells into a more regular scoring role.
