Italian lower-tier side, Calcio Foggia 1920 recently signed Ghanaian international Moses Odjer from Italian Serie B side Palermo FC. Footballghana.com explores his technical characteristics and his career development.
The Ghanaian footballer signed a two-year contract that will bind him to Foggia Calcio 1920 until 30 June 2024.
Moses Odjer: a career that blossomed in Salerno
Odjer started playing for local Tema Youth, and made his senior debut for the club in 2012, aged only 16. On 26 August 2014, he signed a five-year deal with Italian side Calcio Catania, freshly relegated to Serie B.
Odjer played his first match as a professional on 29 November 2014, replacing injured Alexis Rolín in a 0–1 away loss against Ternana Calcio.
In summer 2015 Odjer left for Salernitana on loan, with an option to sign him outright. On 22 June 2016 Salernitana excised the option.
On 23 January 2020, he moved to Serie B club, Trapani. The midfielder again moved to Serie C powerhouse Palermo on a free transfer.
Moses Odjer: technical characteristics
Odjer, as already described above, makes a lot of tackles in the center area of the field. An element of absolute thickness for Boscaglia who will have a player who is not so physical (he is 160 cm tall) but with great qualities. The midfielder is good at breaking the game plots of opponents by stealing balls. The only drawback? Certainly the few goals scored in his career (only one), a fact that he plays to the disadvantage of the player who is ready to improve even this aspect under the management of the former Virtus Entella coach.
