Arsenal will prepare a new contract for Martin Odegaard

Martin Odegaard is set to sign a new contract with Arsenal.

The Gunners captain is dreaming about winning the Premier League medal this season after the club’s 19-year title drought.

Mikel Arteta’s men are currently at the top of the league table, eight points clear of title-holders Manchester City.

The Spaniard is keen to tie down a number of first-team players on a new contract and wants Odegaard to sign a five-year extension with the Gunners.

The ex-Real Madrid player who’s contract expires in the summer of 2025 has recorded 10 goals and seven assists in 27 league appearances for Mikel Arteta’s side.

The Norwegian captain will earn a substantial payrise with his new terms and both parties claim an agreement can be found quickly.

He has bagged 19 goals and 14 assists in 95 outings in a Gunners jersey since his initial loan move in the 2020/21 season.

The turnaround at Arsenal since the midfielder was named the captain in the summer indicates the Norwegian’s true leadership qualities.

The North London club would like to get the deal done at the earliest opportunity.
