Martin Odegaard to Heerenveen: Latest Loan Details, Comments and Reaction

Eredivisie club Heerenveen have won the race to sign Real Madrid's young star Martin Odegaard, who has agreed an 18-month loan deal with the Dutch outfit.

The news was confirmed via Heerenveen's Twitter feed on Tuesday:

Marca reported he will move to the Dutch top-flight side until the end of next season, via The Sun's Matt Heath-Smith.

Per Carlos Forjanes in AS, it has long been expected that the 18-year-old Norway international would spend some time away from Real, with the Bundesliga previously seen as the best place for him to thrive.
