Liverpool target Odegaard sees action in Norway defeat

Stromsgodset teen Martin Odegaard was granted 30 minutes in Norway's 1-0 defeat to Estoni in Oslo last night.

Odegaard, dubbed the 'Norwegian Messi' by some, recently admitted Liverpool are his 'dream club' ahead of visiting the facilities of the Barclays Premier League club in December.

He has already trained with Bundesliga sides Bayern Munich and Stuttgart, met Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp and visited La Liga giants Real Madrid.

On Wednesday night, Odegaard was given some 30 minutes to make his mark by Per-Mathias Hogmo, though his creative spark was wasted as his team-mates could not find the finishing touch.

Odegaard himself had a late chance to equalise after cutting sharply inside, only to see his shot fly over the crossbar.
