Martin Odegaard sends Erling Haaland Arsenal transfer message amid Manchester City links

Martin Odegaard has joked that Norwegian teammate Erling Haaland needs to move to Arsenal if he's going to end up in the Premier League.

Manchester City have reportedly agreed terms with Haaland's representatives. As per Sportsmail, City are now expected to trigger the 21-year-old striker's £63million release clause, and if all goes according to plan, what is likely to be a five-year deal should be sealed in the next week or so. The forward would also become the Premier League's highest-paid player as a financial package of more than £500,000 per week is reportedly on the table.

London rivals Chelsea had been linked with a move for the 21-year-old for some time, but their pursuit of the marksman appears to have cooled in recent months. With Romelu Lukaku, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner already on the books and ongoing uncertainty over the Blues' new owners, it would be a huge surprise if Haaland ultimately arrived in west London.
