Odegaard doing 'everything' to reach Real Madrid stardom

The Norway international is on his second loan spell in the Eredivisie but believes he can still break into the first team in the Spanish capital

Martin Odegaard remains determined to break into Real Madrid's first team and sees his time on loan at Vitesse as a big step towards achieving his goal.

For a player once regarded as a potential superstar and courted by Europe's most successful sides, the hype surrounding Odegaard has died down since he joined Madrid at 16 years old.

Now 19, the midfielder has spent almost two years in the Eredivisie, having joined Vitesse in the summer after an 18-month spell with Heerenveen.
