Real Madrid's Martin Odegaard joins Vitesse Arnhem on loan

The youngest debutant in the history of Real Madrid is on the move to the Netherlands.
Once regarded as the best teenager, Martin Odegaard was transferred to Real Madrid in 2015 and has impressed with his outings with Real Madrid Castilla and the loan moves. He has played only two senior games for the Spanish giants and spent 18 months on loan at Heerenveen and is set to play for Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem, which looks like his last loan move from Real Madrid before he makes a permanent spot in the first-team.

"Vitesse has shown that it gives young players a chance to dare," he said. "I am happy with the opportunity that Vitesse offers me."
