# West Ham United weighing up exciting move for Real Madrid midfielder

**Any Hammers fans drinking in the Transfer Tavern? Off course there are! And this line of news is for you lads…**

[According to The Sun,](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/1567606/west-ham-transfer-news-the-hammers-chasing-real-madrid-woinderkid-martin-odegaard-on-loan/)The Hammers are looking to bring Real Madrid starlet Martin Odegaard to the Premier League on-loan.

Real Madrid Castilla bosses are keen for the Norwiegen wonderkid to go out and gain some first-team experience in a competitive league, and there would be no better place than at West Ham.

With a swanky new stadium, European football to offer and a big domestic campaign ahead, the chance to turn out for the Hammers would be ideal for the youngsters’ development.

And its thought that Slaven Bilic’s side are set to make a move quickest, with a whole host of teams interested in signing the 17-year-old attacking midfielder.

The move would also cover injury problems too, after Manuel Lanzini was ruled out for up to five weeks with a knee injury.
