We should buy this kid as fast as possible. I really rate Martin Ødegaard, but I think this kid is the biggest talent in Norway atm. At the very least they are on the same level.

We need to get him before Real or Barca comes knocking on the door.

Think there was a thread about him after the Dortmund game last year.
Haven't seen anything of him since then, but i don't follow Tippeligaen that closely,
Has he been any good?
Not much about him in the media here either.

He has been a regular all season for Odd and has scored and assisted goals in almost every match he has played. Had it not been for a injury I think he would have been sold already.

He is rapid as feck. I hate to compare players with other great ones, but the kid is as close as you get a young Ryan Giggs. Insane really.

But can he match Giggsy's hairy chest?
 
We were linked to him last summer. We definitely need to be more active in signing up rapid dribblers who genuinely are suited to playing out wide. I actually think we could do with a couple of them.
 
Were we really interested in him, or was it a case of the media linking him to us because he's apparently a United fan?

Is he better than Januzaj ?
 
If the YouTube song isn't faded I'm not interested
 
This belongs in football forum, please don't make threads without any news source in the transfer forum.
 
But ... Acquire Me said this could happen, I'll take that over any news source any day! It's practically a done dealio.
 
What I like about that video is even though he's right footed mainly playing on the left, he isn't cutting inside and narrowing the pitch every time. He's actually going down the line and crossing well with his left.

Looks to have great acceleration and good close control, and we've got a good history with Noggies :drool: won't be too expensive either I imagine, Jose sign him up!

He has five goals and four assists in 22 league matches. Not bad given his age but not that impressive given the level of competition.

I'm absolutely certain that Ødegaard will go on to have a far more impressive career than Zekhnini.

Feel free to quote me on that 10 or so years from now ;)
 
his skillset looks almost identical to Januzaj's sign him! mabye his attitude will be better
 
Seems to be on his way to Everton according to the local newspaper, Varden.
