Odegaard reveals which players he asked for advice on Arsenal move

Oct 19, 2021
The 22-year-old asked three Norwegian compatriots with Premier League experience
Martin Odegaard revealed that before joining Asenal in January, he had made recommendations to three Norwegian players.
After failing to secure a fixed position in Zinedine Zidane's regular season in the first half of this season, the 22-year-old chose to switch to the Premier League.

Before moving to England, the producer quized three compatriots who had previously played in the division.
When asked about Everton striker Josh King and Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berg, Odegarde told the Premier League’s official YouTube channel: “Yes, I’m talking to both of them. Over.

"I also talked to Stefan Johansen, another guy who used to play in Fulham. He was the former captain of the national team, so I talked to him to get to know the league and how they view the league. Understand.

"They can only say good things about the league and everything in football. They told me a lot of good things.

"The Premier League is really big in Norway, so I watch the game every week, so everyone in Norway pays attention to the league. It is a dream to be able to play here."

How did Odegard perform at Arsenal?
Odegard's brief experience in North London left a deep impression and became a key part of Mikel Arteta's offensive.

The organizer recorded two goals in 12 appearances of the Gunners and started the club's last six Premier League games.

Can Odegard's move be permanent?
Arsenal did not have the option to buy in the loan agreement with Real Madrid, but they have agreed to sit down with the Spanish giants in the summer to discuss what might happen next with the 22-year-old, who is still in the future of Santiago Bernabéu It is indefinitely far away 

Odegarde returned to the Spanish capital after spending a loan at Real Sociedad last season, but he never won the trust of Zidane in the first half of the season.

Arsenal hope they can use this advantage when they start talks with Odegard in the summer.
