Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard is at long last operating like the kind of player his former Real Madrid colleague Cristiano Ronaldo once claimed he could.
The 23-year-old playmaker has finally appeared to find a home at the Emirates after years either on the sidelines at the Santiago Bernabeu or loan spells away at other clubs. During his time in the Spanish capital, Odegaard spent plenty of time on the training ground with Los Blancos legend and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo.
The Norwegian's move to Madrid caused quite the stir given he was just 13 years of age when European football's biggest clubs started registering their interest. By the age of 16, he was a Real Madrid player and training both with the first-team and the reserves.
