LFC once again linked with prodigal Martin Odegaard, who’s finally coming good

Posted by

Remember four years ago when teenage sensation Martin Odegaard was being chased by every big club in Europe?

The Norwegian had done some outrageous things in his homeland as a 15-year-old for Strømsgodset, and Real Madrid eventually won the race for his signature.

But in the intervening years, he’s not fulfilled his potential – sent on loan to Heerenveen and Vitesse – doing some pretty good, but not special things – in the process.

This term though, back in Spain at Real Sociedad, he seems to have properly come good.

Odegaard has been a terrific creative presence in La Liga, scoring twice and registering two assists in eight games – wowing pundits and fans alike with his vision.

ESPN, cited by Calciomercato, have stated that Real Madrid may now try to cash in on Odegaard while his stock is high – mentioning Liverpool and Manchester City as potential buyers.

Odegaard is a sublime talent (watch some clips of his passes this season), so he’d certainly be an interesting potential acquisition.

However, he thrives as a no.10 and we’re not sure there’s any room in our system for a non-running playmaker.

Still, we’ll watch this space with interest.
