With Mikel Arteta in need of adding a creative midfielder to his ranks this month, the Gunners board, as they often have in recent times, appear to have successfully identified a cut-price option, with Odegaard now on the verge of joining the Gunners, as per David Ornstein.

While Odegaard likely has a bright and prosperous future as a Real Madrid player, he is at a key point in his career and needs to be playing regular first-team football.

Real Madrid likely wouldn’t entrust Arsenal with the 22-year-old if they weren’t confident he would establish himself as a key figure during what remains of the 2020/21 campaign.

It’s an exciting one for Arsenal fans, even if it is only a short-term stop-gap.
