It was back in April 2014 when Norweign wonderkid Martin Odegaard announced himself in the game with Stromsgodset. Just a year later, Spanish giants signed him and he became the youngest Los Blancos player to appear for the club in May 2015.

He became the youngest debutant for Norway's senior team at the age of 15 in August 2014.

His remarkable rise as a player at such a young age is all down to the plethora of potential he possesses.

Odegaard is blessed with technique and natural balance, which make up for his weakness in physical strength. He has a great vision and delivers pinpoint passes to his teammates. He is well accomplished as a dribbler for his age and has a knack for taking long shots on goal.

At a time when players usually take their first step in the game, Martin Odegaard is already a part of the biggest club in the world. Football certainly has a great superstar in store for the future.
