The Norwegian national team's captain and big star Martin Ødegaard is planning to sue the Norwegian magazine Se og Hør, according to NTB. This after a report on his new multi-million kronor villa in London.

According to lawyer Tim Lowles, the report constitutes an intrusion into Ødegaard's private life, which Lowles believes is protected by the European Convention on Human Rights.

Se and Hör's editor-in-chief Niklas Kokkinn-Thoresen dismisses the whole thing and means that the report is of public interest and does not reveal the exact address.

26-year-old Ødegaard and his newlywed wife recently bought the house for just over 100 million Norwegian kronor.

The lawsuit occurs in the wake of Ødegaard's highly publicized wedding.

There, among other things, a photographer sent from Se and Hör and the Norwegian Dagbladet is said to have been physically removed by two security guards, despite the photographer being in a public place, according to the interest organization Norwegian Editor's Association.

After the wedding, the Norwegian Football Association's security manager Geir Ellefsen was also reported to the police for, in another case, also physically removing a journalist from the Norwegian Dagbladet.
