Stromsgodset assistant coach Ruben Selles is delighted for Martin Odegaard over his move to Real Madrid.
The teen is already off the mark for the Castilla.
Selles told AS: "I don't like comparisons but I'd say he's similar in style to Messi. Great with the ball at his feet and can dribble really well. He's an electrifying player that can attack from both sides.
"It was a massive story. It was all over the television, papers and webs. The radio stations even started to play "Que viva España" by Manolo Escobar when speaking about Martin! I feel that Odegaard will be instrumental in reviving Norway's footballing fortunes."
