Jens Odgaard

Jens Odgaard of Bologna was born in Hillerød, Denmark on 31 March 1999 (age 27).

Jens Odgaard, born on 31 March 1999 (age 27), is a Danish striker with Bologna. His early career included loan spells that helped move him from prospect status into senior football, the sort of route that can be useful without needing to be dressed up as anything grander.

His most productive league season came at AZ in 2022-23, when he scored 9 goals in 29 appearances. That spell gave his career a clearer shape, taking him beyond development minutes and into a role where he was expected to contribute properly.

Odgaard now wears 21 at Bologna and has made 9 Serie A appearances in 2026-27. His market value is around £13m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career so far has run from Danish development, through loans and a productive AZ spell, to Serie A football with Bologna. It is a solid European path for a striker still building consistency at senior level.
