Martin Odegaard is close to leaving Real Madrid for a loan to either Ajax or Heerenveen.

Odegaard is now 18 and he's looking for first time experience. Real Madrid bought Odegaard when he was 16 and he's only played in two competitive first team matches.

Odegaard has been playing for Real Madrid's Castilla who play in the third division in Spain.

Anthony Martial is considering interest from Sevilla as his playing time has been greatly reduced under Jose Mourinho.

Martial has scored just once while providing three assists in 11 Premier League appearances.

Sevilla would like to sign Martial on loan.

"We're studying the Sevilla option very closely," agent Philippe Lamboley said. "Sevilla is a very good club, in a good position in La Liga. They're in the Champions League and have a great coach. That's what I can say."

Everton remains hopeful of completing a double deal in January with Manchester United for Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay.

United paid approximately £25 million apiece in the summer of 2015 for the pair.

Schneiderlin worked at Southampton with the current Everton manager, Ronald Koeman, who sanctioned his sale to United.

United's preference would be to sell both players but Everton only wants to buy Schneiderlin and instead take on Depay as a loan.

Manchester United will not consider any loan enquiries from West Ham United for either Marcus Rashford or Anthony Martial.

West Ham are looking for a new striker during the January window as they've struggled for goals.

West Ham are trying to cut short the loan deal of Simone Zaza to allow them to bring in a new striker in January.

Rashford has not started for United since the 1-1 draw with West Ham last month.

Martial, meanwhile, has been unable to hold down a regular spot in Mourinho's side this season with Zlatan Ibrahimovic the No.1 striker at United.

Simone Zaza will end his loan with West Ham and will return to Juventus.

West Ham paid £5 million to take Zaza on loan with the deal automatically becoming a long-term one at a further cost of £20 million if he made a certain number of Premier League appearances. 

Juvenews reported that his agent Vincenzo Morabito said: “Zaza will definitely go back to Juve, because West Ham do not want to keep him. He could well stay in Turin, given that Juventus might need another striker. If not, there are plenty of other options.”
