Arteta hints that Arsenal could sign Odegaard

Mikel Arteta has winked at the possibility that Martin Odegaard, loaned to Arsenal this january for the Real Madrid, can remain permanently in the English team.

The Norwegian, almost unpublished under the orders of Zinedine Zidane, has fallen with both feet in London, where the other day he already enjoyed his first starts, performing at a good level. A player who apparently wants more time at Arsenal.

“We have had Martín for a few months and first of all we have to maximize this time with him to try to make him contribute all the qualities he has to the team,” he said. Arteta, which did not deny that “at the end of the season we will sit down together and decide where we can take this relationship forward. At the moment it does not depend only on us”.

Goal advanced this week that Arsenal’s idea was to definitively sign Odegaard, 22 years old. However, it all depends on the Real Madrid, who aware of his financial problems and that the playmaker almost did not count for Zidane could try to make money in the summer.
