Arsenal could suffer a major blow in the coming transfer windows if their captain Martin Odegaard is targeted by another club with his his former club Real Madrid then likely to join the race. The attacking midfielder joined Arsenal permanently for £34million plus add-ons in the summer of 2021 after enjoying a fruitful six-month loan spell in north London.
After being touted as the next big thing coming through at Los Blancos, Odegaard struggled to have a significant in impact in the Spanish capital after joining Real Madrid Castilla, the club's reserve team, when he was 18.
Several loan spells followed but Real eventually made the decision to sell Odegaard to the Gunners. Since his permanent arrival, the 24-year-old has enjoyed an excellent 14 months, which included becoming first-team captain less than a year after joining.
