Arsenal have been told they would be making a huge transfer mistake if they decided to cash in on Martin Odegaard in the summer transfer window.
Max Dowman, widely regarded as one of the most promising talents in *ARSENAL*’s academy system, has generated significant excitement within the club’s youth ranks. The attacking midfielder has already impressed coaches with his technical ability, creativity and composure, drawing comparisons with some of the Premier League’s most accomplished playmakers.
That has led to alot of speculation in the media which have claimed that Arsenal will allow Odegaard to leave in the summer because of Dowman, but former Gunners midfielder Anders Limpar believes that ARSENAL should pay no attention to the outside noise, and would be making a ‘dangerous’ move if they decided to sell Odegaard in the summer.
‘It would be dangerous for Arsenal to sell Martin Odegaard,’ Limpar told FruityKing. The other players rely on him so much. The way he shows for the ball and dictates games, who is he taking the pressure off?
‘Declan Rice and that lets Declan Rice do his stuff. He takes the pressure off Martin Zubimendi too.
‘Suddenly Odegaard, the playmaker, is out. So the players look to Declan Rice. He is an engine but he is not a player who will make 20 assists with his passing. Zubimendi is not that player either.
‘They are the link players between defence and attack. Odegaard is the playmaker. He makes the other players better. He makes Zubimendi and Declan Rice better.
‘It’s not fair what people say about Odegaard. To say that he’s been a bad player or we need to sell him, no, I don’t think so.’
For now, Ødegaard remains firmly established as *ARSENAL*’s first-choice attacking midfielder and one of Arteta’s most trusted players. The midfielder also signed a long-term contract extension in 2023, underlining the club’s commitment to building around him.
But with the summer window just around the corner, this will be a transfer story that could dominate the summer window
