Arsenal want to sign Martin Odegaard permanently.

According to Fabrizio Romano, “Arsenal are really happy with Ødegaard and will try to keep him. They will speak with Real Madrid at the end of the season. Zidane’s future will be essential to take a final decision on Ødegaard ”.

So the Whites, let’s hypothetically say Zidane will continue as manager next season and Odegaard wants to continue at Arsenal after finding out that, which would you prefer? A change of manager which guarantees Odegaard to be inserted in the starting line-up or to hang on with Zidane. How much do you believe in the potential of the young Norwegian against the aura of our legendary coach? Answer this juicy poll question below:

His availability against Greece will depend on how he evolves from the discomfort he has had ”.
