Here is the latest transfer news and gossip as Arsenal could look to line up a long-term replacement for club captain Martin Odegaard, if recent reports are to be believed in the media this week.
Over the past few years, Odegaard has developed into one of the very best midfielders in world football, and one of the most important players that Mikel Arteta has at his disposal.
However – ESPN [via Football London] claims that Arsenal are targeting the signing of Real Madrid’s Arda Guler to become Odegaard’s eventual replacement in the midfield at the Emirates Stadium
The Norwegian hasn’t been prioritised by sporting director Andrea Berta for a new deal in north London. Instead, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice are next on the club’s list for negotiations after Bukayo Saka’s future was secured.
And while ARSENAL wait on holding talks with the midfielder, it has been claimed that some of the games biggest clubs could be eyeing up a move for Odegaard at the end of the current season.
IcFootballnews Says…
Odegaard is one of the biggest players at Arsenal, he is a man that the club can really rely on and a star that the fans will not want to sell leave the club. We are not sure why his current contract talks have been put on hold, but we are sure he will get that new Gunners deal.
Arsenal do want to sign Arda Guler from Madrid, that is for sure, but at the end of the day, losing a massive creative player like Odegaard would disrupt the quality that Mikel Arteta has and the Spaniard will not allow the star to leave.
But that doesnt mean that ARSENAL wont still try and sign Guler, not to replace Odegaard, but to turn him into the next creative star
