The 22-year-old Jens Odgaard is currently making an impression at RKC Waalwijk. The Danish attacker is rented by the club from Sassuolo, where he still has a one-year contract after this season. Mario Been would not think it strange if Feyenoord made an attempt.
In Good morning Eredivisie his Leg and Hans Kraaij Jr. agree that Odgaard ‘has become a really good player’. The Danish youth international already played on a rental basis at sc Heerenveen two years ago, but has already equaled his number of goals from then (seven goals). He also gave three assists and was also accurate three times in the cup.
“This boy has gone through a fantastic development,” said Been. “It is from Sassuolo, which has already lent him four times. He will eventually have to make a certain choice. The sub-top, and I now also mention Feyenoord, he would certainly not look out of place.”
Odgaard is originally a striker who can also play on the wings, but has often played as number ten at RKC in recent weeks. Been therefore sees a suitable successor in the Dane for Guus Til, who, as it now looks like, will return to Spartak Moscow in the summer. “If Til had to go back, I would certainly dare to put him there,” said Been.
