Liverpool rejected by 'next Martin Odegaard' as star agrees January transfer

Norwegian talent Andreas Schjelderup, dubbed the 'next Martin Odegaard', has reportedly rejected the chance to join Liverpool for a second time.

Schjelderup, 18, is one of Norway's most exciting young midfielders and has played more than 50 games for Danish Superliga side Nordsjaelland since arriving from Bodo/Glimt in July 2020. He's now set for another transfer, but he's not heading to Merseyside.

It's believed Schjelderup, who is a self-confessed Liverpool fan, has decided to join Benfica in January instead. The youngster first rejected a move to Anfield in the summer of 2020, when the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich also showed an interest.
