Challenger Pro League Club set to Turn Heads with Denis Odoi Signing
Kortrijk, Belgium – KV kortrijk is poised to make a significant splash in the Challenger Pro League with the imminent signing of veteran defender Denis Odoi, according to reports from Het Nieuwsblad. The 36-year-old, who departed Antwerp last summer citing lengthy commutes, has been training with the club and is now on the verge of securing a contract.
Odoi’s departure from Antwerp wasn’t indicative of retirement plans; the Ghanaian international has consistently expressed his desire to continue playing, with a preference for opportunities abroad but remaining open to options within Belgium. Despite interest, no firm offers materialized until Kortrijk stepped forward. Coach Michiel Jonckheere is reportedly a strong advocate for bringing Odoi on board, recognizing the invaluable experience he’ll add to a squad aiming for promotion this season.
The move will likely require a financial adjustment for Odoi, as Kortrijk cannot match his previous salary. Negotiations are expected to be finalized during the international break. Odoi’s arrival represents a coup for the club, bolstering their defensive line with a player boasting a wealth of top-flight experience.
