Arsenal talisman Martin Odegaard has admitted that Erling Haaland is leaning on his knowledge of Real Madrid as he comes to a final decision over his future.
The Borussia Dortmund superstar looks destined to leave the Bundesliga this summer, with Europe’s top clubs all vying for his signature. Manchester City are said to be leading the race after reports claimed they had an agreement in place to sign the prolific striker.
And while those suggestions may be premature, there is a feeling the Premier League champions are best placed to land Haaland, whose £62.7million release clause is set to become active at the end of the season. There had been claims that the forward would need to tell Dortmund his plans before the end of April, something which head of licenced player department Sebastian Kehl refuted.
