Martin Odegaard continues to impress for Real Sociedad

Martin Odegaard has scored four goals and five assists for La Real in the first half of the campaign. These are some incredible numbers for a midfielder, considering he plays more as a No 8 than No 10. Though the Norwegian brings far more than goal contributions to the table. He’s have attributes like consistent  press, skillful dribbling, crisp passing and world class vision. He’s a complete midfielder, who would be a more than adequate replacement for someone like a Luka Modric and even Toni Kroos.

He’s a world class player. And if Fede Valverde’s form continues. Real Madrid might just have their midfield sorted for the next decade.
