Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has been impressed by Real Madrid trialist Martin Odegaard.

The Stromsgodset midfielder, 16, trained with Ronaldo and Real last week.

"[He is a] good player. He's a young boy who can still grow - he's 16 years old," said Ronaldo.

"He has a good future. We must give him time to learn and to take the best decisions, but I see a lot of potential in the player. [He has a] good left foot."

Odegaard is expected to sign for Real before the January market shuts.
