Real Madrid – La Liga Sealed arrival on Wednesday
Arsenal has the signature of Martin Odegaard on a loan of six months from Real Madrid on Wednesdays, and Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has shown that he is happy to get this deal on the line.
The Norwegian playmaker only played under nine times Zinedine Zidane in the first half of the season, which made him request a temporary departure because he was looking for playing time.
“It’s great that we have assured Martin to come to us until the end of the season,” Arteta told Arsenal.com.
“Martin is of course a player we all know very well and although he is still young, he has been playing at the highest level for a while.
“Martin will provide us with high-quality offensive options and we are all excited to integrate him into our plans between now and May.”
Odegaard will wear the number 11 shirt, and he is available to make his own Arsenal debut against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
