Real Madrid wonderkid Martin Odegaard has revealed that he considered moving to the Premier League before joining Los Blancos from Norwegian outfit Stromsgodset in January.

The 16-year-old Norway international was courted by a host of Europe's top clubs before he decided to move to the Bernabeu, and he is widely regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in world football.

I visited Liverpool, the two Manchester teams and they were all very nice but my choice was Real Madrid and I am very happy with that.
