All eyes will yet again be fixed on Martin Odegaard. The 16-year-old turned into a superstar overnight, not particularly for his football talent, but following the news that he would be receiving £80,000 per WEEK for the chore of training alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the Madrid squad while lining up for Zinedine Zidane's youth side. It's a hard life. He's surely a special talent, but that won't stop his ability and potential being given the glossy treatment after the decision makers see his supreme salary. New Madrid boss Rafa Benitez has already earmarked the Norwegian to feature for the first team during the upcoming campaign, and that will only go further towards jumping him ratings up.
