Odense Håndbold are on the verge of a major signing as they look to continue strengthening their squad. According to TV 2 Sport, the Danish powerhouse are closing in on a deal for German World Championship standout Xenia Smits.
Odense’s ambitious recruitment drive is set to add another high-profile name ahead of the next season. The club are reportedly finalising terms with German international Xenia Smits, a key figure for her national team at the recent World Championship and one of Europe’s most accomplished players.
Smits has established herself as a top back with years of experience at the highest level, known for her scoring ability, physical presence, and great defense. Her potential arrival in Odense would give the team a significant boost both domestically and in European competition, reinforcing their depth and star quality.
Ambitious project
For Odense Håndbold, the move aligns with a clear strategy to build a roster capable of competing among the continent’s elite. The club have already been active in the transfer market, and adding a player of Smits’ calibre would underline their serious ambitions ahead of upcoming seasons.
