The Mirror have reported that the creative midfielder is close to joining either Aston Villa or Derby County on loan for this season. They claim that Villa will invest heavily in the loan market before the window closes, and they will have to if they are to cover Ødegaard's wages.
Frank Lampard has shown a willingness to put trust in youth during his short time as Derby manager so far too, and is reportedly interested in taking the young Norwegian to Pride Park for the season.
The sudden spike in interest comes after the player was left out of Real Madrid's squad for the UEFA Super Cup final against Atlético Madrid, which will take place on Wednesday night.
Ødegaard is reportedly open to another loan move, but Madrid will only send him to a club where he will feature regularly as a starter.
Villa fans will be rubbing their hands together at the prospect of Ødegaard and Jack Grealish playing together in midfield, before realising that Steve Bruce will be in charge of coaching them.Explore more on these topics:
