Eberi questions Odegaard’s Real progress

Borussia Monchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl believes Martin Odegaard’s development has been hindered by his move to Real Madrid. Teenage sensation Odegaard was heavily linked with Monchengladbach and a host of other leading European clubs before moving to Madrid in January 2015. The Norway international became the youngest debutant in the Liga club’s history at 16 years and 157 days old, appearing as a substitute on the final day of last season in a 7-3 win over Getafe. He has been restricted to duty for Madrid’s second-string Castilla team this term, thus stalling his progress.
