​15-year-old wonderkid Martin Odegaard will visit Liverpool to see Anfield and the club's Melwood training ground before Christmas, according to Norwegian sports channel TV2.

The tour comes as a bid to wow the Stromsgodset star in the hope that he will end up joining Liverpool when he is able to sign a professional contract.

Odegaard has already been shown around the facilities at clubs such as Ajax, Barcelona and Real Madrid, whilst Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich are amongst the other clubs interested in the player.

Reds fans can be boosted by the news that Odegaard is actually a Liverpool fan, so that could give them an edge in the race to sign him.

Born in 1998, he made his debut for Stromsgodset in April this year - becoming the Norwegian league's youngest ever player. He became the league's youngster ever scorer the month following, and is already Norway's youngest player to be capped on the international stage.

He made his debut in August.

Odegaard is widely regarded as the most promising young player in the world given his progress to date.
