Inter Milan have won the race to sign Lyngby forward Jens Odgaard, according to Tuttosport.

The Italian newspaper report that Odgaard was interesting Arsenal, Stuttgart, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and FC Copenhagen but the Serie A side are poised to seal a €10million deal for the 18 year old.

Odgaard made his senior debut for Lyngby as a 16 year old back in October 2015 in a Danish Cup match against Aalborg, remarkably scoring on his first appearance in a 2-1 defeat.

He had to wait until the back end of the 2015/16 season to make his league debut against Naestved BK in April 2016, before beginning to establish himself in the first team squad last campaign.

Although still mostly featuring as a substitute for Lyngby, Odgaard scored four goals in 17 appearances. He also started three of the ten Superligaen Championship round matches at the end of the season as the club finished third, four points off Brondby in second.
