Martin Odegaard
Club: Stromsgodset Oslo
Position: AMC
Age: 15
Nationality: Norwegian
The kids a bit like: Lionel Messi
This lad is just 15 years old but he has already made his debut in the Norwegian top flight, they youngest ever player to appear in a Tippeligaen match. He also scored a few goals, not too shabby for a 15-year-old. Reports claim Real Madrid are ready to spend 12 million pounds on him, Bayern Munich are also keeping a close eye on the lad and so do most of the other top clubs in Europe. Why? Because he’s a huge talent, could well be one of the most prominent FM 2015 wonderkids.
He signed a professional contract with Stromsgodset in May, the deal will expire in 2015 but they will probably sell him by then. The kid has great agility, dribbles past just about anybody, passes well and also possesses a mean shot. Check out the video below to see some of his skills.
Marin Odegaard’s stats
Stromsgodset 13/14: Appearances: 12 / Goals: 3
What should we expect from this FM 2015 wonderkid? He should have amazing potential, he already has good speed, agility, balance, creativity, you name it. Can he be the next Messi? Well, it’s tough to say but I think he has a pretty good chance.

Well….. if he’s in the game… possibly too young to make it in.

I think he will be in the game because he has already made several first-team appearances last season.

The kid has already made his full international debut. He will most definitely be in the game. (-9) is too low for him.

Yes he play’d against Steaua Bucharest in Champions League preliminary round but hIs team lost 3-0 at general. He has nice Tehnique and speed anyway.

He has also made his debut in the Norway senior national team, I bet he’ll get a huge number of caps by the end of his career with this very early start :)

He won’t be in the game unfortunately. The FM official account on Twitter confirmed it yesterday https://twitter.com/FootballManager/status/524472324087881728

Indeed he is now available in the game… he’s available now as an add on in the steam workshop (official sigames made) and will probably be added properly in the next update…
