Southampton Transfers: 10 Targets For January

3. Martin Odegaard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smi8jvNixL8 Arguably the most sought after player in the world right now, Norwegian wunderkind Odegaard is just 16 and has already become the youngest player ever to feature in a European Championship qualifier. Playing for Stromsgodset, Odegaard helped the team to qualify for next season's Europa League with five goals and a number of great performances that showcased a hugely impressive level of skill and technical ability for a player of his age. With the Norwegian close season occurring over winter, Odegaard has been targeted by a number of Europe's top clubs. Recent weeks have seen him training with the likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich and both Manchester clubs as he seeks to determine where his future lies. Bayern have been talked about as the favourites to sign Odegaard above his many Premier League suitors, but it is by no means a done deal. Southampton have been suggested by Odegaard's advisors as a club where his talent would be nurtured, where he would get his chance in the first team and would not be lost amongst a number of other stars. Signing a player that is as in demand as Odegaard would be an impressive transfer coup for Southampton, a signal of their ongoing intent to become a challenger at the top of the league.
