The group also tweeted that Liverpool have confirmed to them that it is Odegaard training with them.
There is a long list of suitors for the Stromsgodset midfielder, but Liverpool will feel they are in pole position for his signature after Odegaard completed training sessions with the Reds squad yesterday and today.

Odegaard has admitted to being a Redsl fan in the past but said it will not affect his decision on which club he chooses to sign for. The 15 year old has already visited facilities at Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Norwegian TV managed to grab a word with defender Kolo Toure yesterday who said he was very impressed with the teenager.
