Martin Odegaard has expressed his desire to stay with Arsenal for the long term. Reports have emerged that the Gunners are in talks with the midfielder to extend his contract which is due to expire in 2025.
This news has been welcomed by Arsenal fans as Odegaard has become a key figure in Mikel Arteta's team. Other players such as Aaron Ramsdale, William Saliba, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli have recently penned new contracts with the north London side.
Odegaard was asked about the possible contract extension while on international duty with Norway. He said, “I am very happy at Arsenal and I hope I can be there for a long time. I have no comment at the moment, as it is the national team that is my focus.”
Odegaard has enjoyed a successful international break as well. He captained Norway to a 6-0 win in a friendly against Jordan and scored in a 2-1 win over Georgia. This result has kept their hopes of qualifying for Euro 2024 alive, though they are still some way behind Scotland and Spain in their group.
The 24-year-old will now turn his attention back to Arsenal, who travel to Everton on Sunday looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. He will be looking to continue his impressive form which has seen him become an integral part of the team.
