Ronaldo’s seven-year prediction on £30m Arsenal sensation is finally coming true as midfield talent stepped up his game in the EPL.
Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard is living the dream in the Premier League this season and he has proven Cristiano Ronaldo right.

Ronaldo’s seven-year prediction, speaks volume
During an interview with BT Sport in 2015, Ronaldo was asked to name five players he thought would go on to enjoy stellar careers.
Cristiano Ronaldo: “I will mention Martin Odegaard of Madrid for example, at 16, he’s still young but you can see he’s a very good player. He’s a great player, I think he’s a young boy, he can still grow. He has a good future ahead.
“We must give him time to learn, to take his best decisions. But I see a lot of potential in the player. He has got a good left-foot.
