The first international break of 2022 is finally here, and it hasn’t taken long for Arsenal fans to think Erling Haaland might be making a stunning move to north London this summer.
The Borussia Dortmund superstar is set to be one of the most in-demand players ahead of the transfer window, with every big club in Europe likely to be interested in the striker, and Arsenal could find themselves in the hunt for Haaland.
The Gunners currently sit in fourth place in the Premier League standings and are the favourites to secure that spot in the English top-flight, which will book Arsenal’s ticket into the UEFA Champions League for the first time in six years.
Indeed, a return to Europe’s elite competition will be a fairytale story for Arsenal, and for some fans, it could give the club the chance to sign Haaland, whose international captain is none other than Martin Odegaard.
The 23-year-old playmaker has been in sensational form for Arsenal this season following his £30m move from Real Madrid to north London as per Sky Sports News, and a recent image of Odegaard with Haaland has got some fans excited.
The pair were photographed together on international duty with Norway, along with Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge, causing supporters on social media to theorise that Odegaard was working on signing Haaland for Arsenal.
Haaland to Arsenal is possible if Gunners claim top-four spot
A striker is a huge priority for Arsenal this summer, and if the Gunners can finish in the top-four, the prospect of signing Haaland suddenly becomes likely with the attacker eager to play in the Champions League.
Indeed, much can happen between now and the end of the season, yet if Arsenal can pull off what many thought was impossible, the north London side could have a real shot of landing the deal of the century in Haaland this summer.
