Arsenal face transfer blow in Odegaard chase
Arsenal’s pursuit of Martin Odegaard has suffered a setback with Real Madrid reportedly claiming that the player is ‘fundamental’ to their future.
The on-loan playmaker has impressed since his temporary switch to the Emirates in January, with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta keen to retain his services.
However, despite failing to nail down a starting spot at the Bernabeu previously, the Spanish giants are said to be keen on bringing the Norweigian star back to the club at the end of his loan.
The Madrid hierarchy has been just as impressed with the 22-year-old’s performances on loan and expects his long-term future to be at the club.
