Martin Odegaard played his youth football for his native team, Stromsgodset. He participated in training sessions of Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal. But it was Real Madrid who captured his signature in January of 2015 and the player rotated between the club’s first team and B team. After multiple loan spells in the Netherlands and Spain, Odegaard returned to Real Madrid in 2020 but couldn’t establish himself as a regular under Zinedine Zidane and transferred to Arsenal. Since then he has gone from strength to strength and is currently the club’s permanent captain.
