Martin Odegaard: From a wonder child at Real Madrid to a leader at Arsenal

Odegaard was already a big name in world football when he was just 16 years old and joined Real Madrid.

It seemed clear that Odegaard was a fantastic youngster with great potential, but he was forced to go out on loan several times as he struggled to get many opportunities at the Bernabéu.

In many ways, Odegaard has had to grow up quickly, and he has shown he can do so with his rise at Arsenal.
