Denis Frimpong Odoi (born 27 May 1988) is a Belgian footballer who plays for Premier League club Fulham.[2][3] His father is from Ghana and his mother is from Belgium.
On 14 July 2016, it was announced that Odoi had signed for English Championship side Fulham. Odoi signed for an undisclosed fee, signing a three-year contract with an option of a further 12 months.
Odoi is a right-footed full-back who can operate on either side. He mainly played at left-back for the past 3 years for his former club, Lokeren. He prefers playing centre back.[4]
Fulham
On 5 August 2016, Odoi made his debut for Fulham in a 1–0 win against Newcastle United- his debut drawing acclaim for his "outrageous display of skill" controlling the ball off of his back shoulder. [5] He scored his first goal for Fulham in a 3–2 win against Wigan Athletic on 11 February 2017.[6]
In the summer of 2017 he nearly signed for AA Gent but stayed on an improved contract following intervention from the Fulham chairman’s son.[7] On 14 May 2018 he scored the winning goal as Fulham beat Derby County to reach the 2018 EFL Championship play-off Final.[8]
International career
He made his senior Belgian debut in 2012.[9]
