Heerenveen midfielder Martin Odegaard feels he is rapidly improving this season.

Into his second season on-loan from Real Madrid, Odegaard has begun making positive headlines in Holland.

The Norway international told Dagbladet: "I have become a better allround player. I've become more adept at getting away from people, having more power in the game, I'm stronger and faster.

"I have also developed the skills as the first defender.

"Now I want to have a season where I establish myself, score more goals and help my team."
