With an average age of 24.2, Bologna possess the joint second-youngest squad in Serie A and could soon gain premier position with the acquisition of a French prodigy. The Rossoblu have onboarded several young targets this window, most recently signing Oussama El Azzouzi from Union SG, and are eyeing a fifth summer signing.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Wilson Odobert of Troyes is on Bologna’s wishlist, having impressed the club scouts last season. Odobert, whose 4 goals in 32 appearances for the French minnows couldn’t save them from relegation to Ligue 2, is a product of Paris Saint-Germain’s youth academy.
#SerieA | @Bolognafc1909, piace Wilson #Odobert del @estac_officiel. Sul giovane attaccante c'è però anche il @BurnleyOfficial, che ha già presentato un'offerta #Calciomercato @SkySport

However, Bologna will have to fend away likely suitors Burnley in an attempt to sign the versatile 18-year-old, who has been praised for his ability to adopt different roles in the frontline. Vincent Kompany’s Burnley have already submitted a €11M offer for the France U20 international, which Troyes have reportedly accepted.
If Odobert affirms Burnley’s offer as well, he wouhttps://twitter.com/Santi_J_FM/status/1685612230392295424ld have the chance to star in the Premier League, all the while making himself Troyes’ record sale.
