Martin Odegaard: European football's most coveted 15-year-old http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/10/sport/football/martin-odegaard-norway-football/index.html

Shadow of his former self since scoring that header against Spain...Was largely anonymous thereafter, and completely anonymous last night....Past his prime, as far as I can tell

Withdrawn from the national team due to 'internal problems'...Hmmmm http://www.barcablaugranes.com/2014/9/8/6119931/maicon-kicked-off-brazil-national-team-by-dunga-dani-alves-still-left?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Seems PSG watched him against Portugal and are interested in him http://www.foot01.com/equipe/paris/interet-confirme-du-psg-pour-odegaard,153941 http://www.footmercato.net/ligue1/transferts/le-psg-passe-la-vitesse-superieure-pour-le-jeune-talent-odegaard_138115

Woke up with an stiff groin after the Portugal game it seems,but it's nothing too serious,he will be rested for some days http://www.vg.no/sport/fotball/landslaget/pappa-oedegaard-om-martins-skade-dette-var-en-stor-nedtur/a/23290224/

Still for the best for his development I think...Yes, it's not like Norway has a brilliant team but it's best to minimize the spotlight on him, to avoid any potential burn-out ;) EDIT: It's reported that this decision was taken due to injury...

THIS, THIS, THIS!!!!Really hope he goes to Holland, Portugal or another league where he could develop himself even further... Out of curiosity, how do you all think he compares to Hachim Mastour? (Just wanted to get your opinion on this guys, as I honestly think Mastour is just a glorified, and...

From last night's game against Portugal

For me, his performance last night mattered more than his Senior Natl Team display against the UAE, or any other game he had in Tippeligaen, as this was the first the first time he was up against any serious opposition (Portugal U21) Watched parts of the game live, and I can alreayd tell you...

Staying put it seems...IMO this is the best decision for his career for the time being ;) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2739844/Martin-Odegaard-Norway-s-youngest-player-age-15-join-Manchester-United.html

Nothing against United, just that he'd never really get any playing time (barring the Academy teams,or w/ a low probability of featuring for the Reserves) at any top team. Just saying he's in a very premature stage of his career to make a move to the PL/La Liga, maybe in a couple of years' time...

Some English papers (incl The Sun (???) and Daily Star ) reporting that he's to sign for Man Utd today...... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/397430/The-wonderkid-set-to-reject-Liverpool-and-Man-City-and-follow-Radamel-Falcao-to-Man-Utd Nothing on the Norwegian press but I sooo hope...

Recent statement from him, as tweeted by the former Norway international Jan Aage Fjortoft;the kid seems to have a proper head above his shoulders as well https://twitter.com/JanAageFjortoft/status/504897888703774721

Man Utd seem to be pretty insistent on him...Hope he doesn't though, for the sake of his career...Afterall, United aren't exactly an ideal destination for a youngster still in the process of developing...

His display can be found inside the following link http://www.vg.no/sport/fotball/landslaget/martin-oedegaard-best-paa-banen/a/23283048/ OR HERE

Agreed,both Bojan an Tello would be stars in Tippeligaen,but what makes Martin special is that he shoulders one of the better sides of the league while he is not even 16, and doing so with unexpected consistency for the negligible experience that he has got, which is amazing...

Great La Liga debut last night...Genuinely have high hopes for this kid,hope Lucho manages him well,b/c there is no reason for him not to turn into an absolute gem

A pretty well-written article on him from Daily Mail: Meet Martin Odegaard-The 15-year-old wonderkid,likened to Lionel Messi, set to become Norway's youngest ever player...

You can find the last one here: http://www.vg.no/sport/fotball/start/martin-15-med-tre-assist-i-godset-seier/a/23275355/ VG tends to give the highlights of each game in Tippeligaen anyway
