Liverpool bungled their way to victory at the weekend in what was a comedy of errors. Any win at the moment is of course welcome but Reds’ fans would be forgiven for feeling trepidation instead of excitement about the forthcoming fixture with Real Madrid.
Because few areas of the team are performing well. Raheem Sterling continues to shine and Jordan Henderson has well and truly proved the doubters wrong. But the defence and attack look flawed right now.
But one really positive news item was that which suggested that the sensational Martin Odegaard may prefer a move to Liverpool over Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Every now and again you hear an increasingly rare yet refreshing story of a player who wants to join their favourite club instead of just the highest bidder. Odegaard could be one of those. The Daily Express reports
Norwegian wonderkid Martin Odegaard is ready to shock Manchester United and Manchester City by choosing a move to Liverpool.
The 15-year-old starlet supported the Anfield club growing up and favours a move to Merseyside.
There is always a massive leap to be made between boy wonder and fully grown superstar. Many fail to make the grade after sensational beginnings. But, having already played for the Norwegian national team at 15, this guy looks like the real deal.
He’s all about balance, ball control and dribbling virtuosity. He likes to beat entire teams on his own and it’s wonderful to watch.
Let’s take a look at the lad in action. Liverpool fans: do you think Odegaard could feasibly turn out of for your first eleven before he reaches 18?
