How Is Real Madrid'S Forgotten Wonderkid Martin Odegaard Performing In Holland?

The Norwegian arrived in the Spanish capital with huge expectations and although the hype has died down, he is developing well with Heerenveen

Few footballers have ever attracted as much attention at a young age as Martin Odegaard.

It has been three years since almost the entire sporting world was tracking the Norwegian, who, at age 15, was fielding offers from Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Roma, Liverpool and Ajax after his big breakthrough at Stromsgodset.

Although the teenager touted as a future Ballon d’Or winner signalled his desire to become an elite star by making the switch to Real Madrid, the hype surrounding him has calmed considerably in the interim, as he continues his development in more modest surroundings at Heerenveen.
