Odegaard joined Arsenal in January on a loan deal until the end of the season from Real Madrid and has made an instant impact with the Gunners.

 

He has wasted little time in emerging as the creative hub of the Arsenal midfield and played a key role in them coming back from three goals down to get a point at West Ham on Sunday.

 

 

The Norwegian is scheduled to return to Real Madrid in the summer, but the clamour of Arsenal to try and sign him on a permanent deal has been growing.

 

Odegaard claimed that he is yet to give a thought on where his future lies and stressed that he will make a decision in the summer based on the stability of his career and development.

 

 

He was quoted as saying by Norwegian daily VG: “Haven’t thought about what’ll happen in summer.

 

“Deal with Arsenal is until the end of the season.

 

“We’ll see what happens this summer.

 

 

“I’ve said things before that I still stand for: Stability and development are the key words.”

 

Arsenal are yet to open any discussions with Real Madrid or the player’s representatives over a potential permanent deal.
