Report: Martin Odegaard Intends to Stay at Arsenal Next Season Despite Reduced Role

Reduced starts this season have fueled speculation over the captain’s future.

Overview

  • Football London is reported to state that Odegaard has no plans to leave this summer and remains part of Mikel Arteta’s core plans.
  • Odegaard has started fewer than half of Arsenal’s Premier League matches this season and has one goal and six assists in 27 appearances in all competitions.
  • ESPN pundits Steve Nicol and Frank Leboeuf recently advised him to consider leaving, citing Eberechi Eze’s impact as a potential reason his place could be under threat.
  • Fan feedback gathered by Arsenal Insider showed many supporters would sell, pointing to potential profit and his waning form, though others argued to keep him.
  • Eze is viewed as a viable alternative in the No.10 role, while Paul Scholes has questioned Odegaard’s positional influence in relation to striker Viktor Gyokeres.
