Report: Arsenal will make £25m offer for ‘incredible’ attacker – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Arsenal are all set to make a €30 million (£25 million) bid for Real Madrid ace Martin Odegaard according to a report from reliable Spanish publication ABC.
The Norwegian ace was a real hit with the Gunners during a loan spell at the Emirates last season.
And Mikel Arteta is clearly desperate to bring him back to Arsenal on a permanent basis.
It seems as though the North London outfit are ready to take the first step needed to bring the 22-year-old play-maker back to the club.
Arsenal to make Odegaard bid
ABC reckon that the Gunners are readying a £25 million offer for the Real Madrid ace.
The problem is, Los Blancos value Odegaard at closer to £42 million, however. Madrid will obviously have to lower their valuation of the Norway international.
And if they don’t, it is suggested that Arsenal will try to sign him on loan again.
Bringing the play-maker back to the Emirates will be a crucial move for Arteta to make before the transfer window slams shut.
The Gunners rely far to much on Emile Smith-Rowe and Bukayo Saka for creativity and Odegaard would certainly help to ease that burden on the young duo’s shoulders.
The youngster is a top class talent.
He regularly received applause from former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane during training sessions according to AS. The Madrid ace was also described as an ‘incredible’ talent by The Metro.
Whether Arsenal will be able to sign him for £25 million remains to be seen. One thing’s for sure though, Arteta could really do with Odegaard back at the Emirates this season.
