Real Madrid mentor commented on Norwegian's move to London club.

The British Daily Mirror managed to interview the head coach of Real Madrid Zinedine Zidane, in which the Frenchman spoke about personal conversations with Norwegian midfielder Martin Edegor before the latter left on loan to London Arsenal..

\? He wanted to leave. We talked about it two or three times. He wanted to play and I encouraged him to stay and fight for his spot in the starting lineup..

Last season, I wanted to return him early from his loan in Real Sociedad, - Zidane admits, - so he always had a chance to prove himself. There were still many matches left until the end of the season, so I consider his departure premature.. However, he wanted to play, so he left, although I really wanted him to be with us. "

The 22-year-old Norwegian midfielder has played 9 games (367 minutes) for Real Madrid this season, and has already made his debut with his new team, coming on as a substitute in the final seven minutes of the match against Manchester United (0: 0).
