Arsenal has been handed a boost in their bid to keep hold of Martin Odegaard.
The Norwegian spent the second half of last season on loan at the Emirates after the Gunners signed him from Real Madrid.
He slotted in straight away and showed that he is the type of player that Mikel Arteta should have in his midfield.
The Norwegian did very well and Arsenal is interested in signing him permanently.
He didn’t always have the best of relationships with Zinedine Zidane at Madrid and that was one reason why he left them temporarily.
Now that the Frenchman has left, he could get the chance to have a fine Madrid career.
New Real manager Carlo Ancelotti could decide to keep him and make him an important part of his plans at the club.
With that in mind, it looked unlikely that Arsenal would get him back either permanently or temporarily.
However, a new development has given them some hopes of one of the above outcome happening.
Spanish journalist Paco Gonzalez reveals that he could be allowed to leave Madrid again on a temporary basis.
He explained to El Partidazo de COPE that the Norwegian could be allowed to leave depending on how many players Madrid will let go this summer.
Please no ,I cannot believe Arteta and Edu would be that stupid to bring him back ,mind you they did bring Ceballos back .
Odegaard no Hazard yes
Agree with you and going by history our most recent aquisation of a RM player created more problems for club and managers then the solution it was intended to be in sporting terms.From Julio Batista to Ceballos, none of RM players shinned for us. Big NO.
Question: Will Arsenal hold on with their recruitment to see if another club will let their player go or not? Is there no time frame for putting the team together in readiness to bounce back next campaign? Why all the hesitation to bring in Buendia who is capable of many goals and assists?
Sadly, Odegaard is a Hazard, to ESR.
Wanting Odegaard back, especially on another loan, is just wasting money that could be put towards buying a more robust player.
Odegard often plays like the proverbial chicken with his head cut off, so why the desire to bring him back?
It seems that, after all the ballyhoo about this being a really good transfer window, it seems to be circling the bowl already.
Mr Kroenke take the money Real Madrid want for the Odegaard loan and use it to bring in CONTE as the manager. He might even convince Lukaku to come with him.
Sorry Arteta, with this idolization of Odegaard, you have gone too far. You need to go!!!
simply NO! his refusal to stick his foot in and the fact that he’s not a natural goal-scorer, means that he’s functional a luxury purchase, loan or otherwise…we need to properly address our “needs”, not have someone who potentially stunts the growth of those with a future at the club and/or makes our manager shoehorn players into the lineup as a result of contractual assurances involving minutes and preferred position…if we were an organization that was flush with cash, I would likely have a different perspective, as Ode could be an interesting “luxury” option, but considering our present circumstances we simply don’t have the monies and/or margin for error required for such an acquisition
Just bring in Buendia who is capable of many goals and assists and who is premier League proven period! What’s wrong with our club struggling to buy a quality championship player 🤔
