Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has explained why he opted for Real Madrid over Liverpool when he made the much-anticipated move as a 16-year-old.
The Norwegian was one of the hottest prospects during his teens as he courted interest from around Europe after emerging as a talent in the Stromgodset set-up.
Liverpool were among the clubs looking to attract the sought-after playmaker but their efforts were gazumped by Los Blancos in 2015. A year earlier, he had expressed his admiration for the Reds and even dubbed them as his "dream club".
