Suso: The time Odegaard trialled with Liverpool

Former Liverpool winger Suso is ready to take on Arsenal star Martin Odegaard in the Champions League.

The two are set for a reunion as the Gunners play Sevilla in the Champions League group stages.

Suso joined the Reds in 2010 as a teenager, while Odegaard came to visit the Anfield club at the time for a trial as a 15-year-old.

Suso told the Guardian: "A little blond kid. When I was at Liverpool, Odegaard came to try out with us for a week. It was that time when everyone wanted him.

"He trained with Madrid, with Liverpool and a few others.

“He stood out: left-footed, which I always notice more as a left-footer myself, hair like it is now. He had lots of ability. I don't think I've seen him since."
