Fabrizio Romano delivers huge update on the future of Martin Odegaard at Arsenal
The Arsenal captain, Martin Odegaard, appears poised to extend his stay at the Emirates Stadium for an extended period, as he is on the verge of signing a fresh contract with the North London team.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal has received encouraging feedback from Odegaard and his representatives regarding a contract renewal, and negotiations are making significant progress toward a conclusion.
Securing a new contract for the Norwegian international is now just a matter of time, as the 24-year-old has always expressed his desire to continue with Arsenal.
Odegaard has already spent two years at the Emirates since his arrival from Real Madrid in 2021, and his development under Mikel Arteta has established him as one of the Premier League’s top midfield talents.

Last summer, ahead of the 2022/23 season, Martin Odegaard, the Norwegian player, was appointed as Arsenal’s captain and given the responsibility of leading a youthful Gunners squad in their quest for a Premier League championship.
In the previous season, Arsenal came tantalizingly close to achieving this goal, with Odegaard playing a pivotal role in their achievements.
While Odegaard’s current contract is set to expire in 2025, there is no indication as to the duration of this impending new agreement that will keep him in North London.
Arsenal supporters are optimistic that it will be an enduring commitment, allowing their captain to continue flourishing within Mikel Arteta’s impressive squad.
