Heerenveen midfielder Martin Odegaard says Real Madrid are happy with his progress this season.

Odegaard is into his second season on-loan at the Eredivisie outfit.

“Real Madrid are very pleased with my progress," Ødegaard told Dagbladet. “They think I am doing very well and that's a good thing.

“I won't be heading back in January. I'll go back in June and we'll see from there. I think that in a couple of years I'll be at my best, although I've got a long career to go and sometimes that's something that you forget when you started out at such a young age like I did."
