Mikel Arteta reveals Arsenal's transfer plan for Martin Odegaard this summer

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed that they will be negotiating for signing Martin Odegaard permanently in the upcoming weeks. The Norwegian midfielder enjoyed a successful six-month loan spell at Arsenal in the second half of the season just gone after finding minutes hard to come by at parent club Real Madrid. His performances appeared to produce the solution to the problem position of central attacking midfield in Arteta’s team. And the Spaniard has been keen to bring Odegaard back to the Emirates Stadium on a permanent basis. “We have a very clear and strong opinion on what we would like to do,” said Arteta when asked about keeping Odegaard. “He’s not our player. We will have discussions in the next few weeks. And respect first of all because he’s a Real Madrid player, and we will have those communications. “We’ve tried to make everything that we could to get Martin performing for the team, which I think he’s done. “And he’s adapted really well to our way of playing and to our football club. And hopefully we have given him as well the hope and the feeling that it could be a good place for him.” Source- Mirror Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
