NOT YET! Odegaard keeps Liverpool, Arsenal waiting as he accepts Ajax invite

Stromsgodset whizkid Martin Odegaard is delaying a decision over his next move.

After spending last week with Liverpool, the 15 year-old has met Arsenal officials in recent days.

Voetbal International says Odegaard is scheduled to visit and train with Ajax in January.

Ajax chiefs Marc Overmars and Frank de Boer hope to convince Odegaard they're the best option for his development, guaranteeing a regular first team chance.

Norway coach Per-Mathias Högmo recently said: "He has two choices. Whether he goes to a mid-range club that helps his development, such as Ajax, or he goes directly to an absolute top club.

"You can see that most players that take the second route don't usually succeed."
