The teenager is prepared to be patient to earn his chance at Santiago Bernabeu and says he is still a couple of years away from reaching his potential

Martin Odegaard says that Real Madrid are “delighted” with the progress that he is making with his game.

The 18-year-old midfielder, who will celebrate his 19th birthday next month, moved to Santiago Bernabeu amid much fanfare from Stromsgodset in 2015 but that failed to materialise into significant game time in Spain.

As such, Zinedine Zidane has shifted the young Norway international out to Heerenveen on an 18-month loan deal that will expire in the summer, where he has earned regular game time.
