Arsenal fans are delighted over claims that Martin Odegaard could well sign for them permanently.
Sport claim that Odegaard won’t go back to Real Madrid as long as Zinedine Zidane remains in charge – which leaves the door open for Arsenal to sign him in the summer.
The attacking midfielder is yet to make much of an impact at the Emirates Stadium to date, after signing on loan.
But Arsenal fans still are excited over claims that they may well end up landing him on a longer-term deal.
Odegaard has only appeared off the bench for Arsenal so far, but his first chance to start could come this weekend against Leeds United.
The Gunners have failed to win either of their last two outings, which means that Mikel Arteta may make some changes.
Odegaard could well find himself replacing Emile Smith Rowe after he made a positive impression off the bench in Arsenal’s last game against Aston Villa.
If Arsenal do beat Leeds they could move up back into the top half of the Premier League table.
