Real Madrid’s 16-year-old £2.3million signing Martin Odegaard confirmed on Thursday that the prospect of working with Zinedine Zidane turned his head away from the Premier League and towards the European champions. The Norwegian teenager, who was presented at the club’s training ground, is on a basic £40,000-a-week for his first half-season but can double that with bonuses. He chose Madrid despite visiting Liverpool and Arsenal on a whistle-stop tour of some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
