Real Madrid youngster Martin Odegaard has joined Dutch side Heerenveen on an 18-month loan deal.
Odegaard famously joined Los Blancos as a 16-year-old from Stromsgodset two years ago, but has made only two appearances for Madrid's senior side.
Heerenveen announced the deal at a press conference this morning, while also taking to Twitter to confirm the move:
