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.
Martin Odegaard to Arsenal thought to have progressed to around 90% done and looking good for #AFC. But there are still details that need to be worked through so it’s not finalised, nor at the stage where he is travelling to London yet @TheAthleticUK #RMFC https://t.co/Zns9Y3U0Ta https://t.co/nZqXvPJK9g

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.
yap it will be good if Arsenal can complete the sign of Odegaard because creative midfielder we need at moment. Additionally, we need someone that distribute a quality passing like Ozil so we will not fill the absent of Ozil. Thanks
