Wonderkid Dreams Of Playing For Liverpool

Norwegian wonderkid Martin Odegaard has revealed that he dreams of playing for Liverpool, giving the Anfield club a huge boost in their chase for the 15 year old starlet, as reported by the Daily Star.

The talented young star has been targeted by a series of the top clubs in the world, with many offering him opportunities to tour their training facilities in an attempt to convince him that they are the right club for the future.

Odegaard is a known life-long Liverpool fans, but is also being chased by fellow giants Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Ajax, Juventus and Bayern Munich.

Odegaard has already been given an opportunity to have a trial at Liverpool, and will also be given a further tour of Melwood.

However, the player also admitted that he has always dreamed of playing for Liverpool throughout his life.

Odegaard told Sport Bild: “Liverpool have always been my dream club.

“But I will not let this affect my decision when I choose a new club.

“It’s all about finding the team that is best for me and for my development.

Euro Giants Confirm Interest In Wonderkid Targeted By Man Utd & Chelsea

Ajax manager Frank de Boer has confirmed his club’s interest in Norwegian wonderkid Martin Odegaard, as reported by Norwegian newspaper VG.

In a wide-ranging interview with the paper, De Boer outlined his reasoning behind why Odegaard would be best served by making the switch to Amsterdam rather than one of the other many clubs said to be interested in his signature at the current moment in time.

Among those clubs said to be interested in bringing in Odegaard are Premier League duo Manchester United and Chelsea, as are Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Real have even invited Odegaard to their training ground, Valdebebas, for the second time, showing the extent to which they are interested in him.

However, Ajax might have the punch on the other sides, with Odegaard agreeing to train with them again.

De Boer, in outlining why this would be a good idea, said: “If he should choose, he should choose Ajax. Here, a player like him will get the chance.

“If he chooses somewhere else, like England, he will not get many opportunities.

“With us he can have a go at the first team.”

Odegaard, 15 years old, currently plays for Stromsgodset IF.

Wonderkid To Snub Man Utd In Favour Of Liverpool Move

Norwegian wonderkid Martin Odegaard is reportedly ready to turn down a move to Manchester United in favour of a move to Liverpool, as reported by the Daily Express.

Odegaard has emerged as one of the more highly rated young players in Europe in recent months, and cemented that position by becoming the youngest ever player to feature in European Championship qualification, after appearing as a substitute during Norway’s 2-1 win against Bulgaria last week.

The 15 year old is now being chased by a host of top sides across Europe.

Both Manchester clubs were hopeful of signing him, with Odegaard having been invited to visit both Man Utd and City in recent months.

However, despite this attempted charm offensive by the two giants, it seems as though the race is being led by the Anfield club.

Both Odegaard and his father, Hans Erik, are known to be Liverpool fans, and with Brendan Rodgers interested, this could aid the Reds in making a move for Odegaard.
