Arsenal have asked Real Madrid for the loan of Martin Odegaard, who has asked the white club to leave as they do not have minutes.
As reported by Sky Sports, Arsenal would be interested in adding the Norwegian midfielder to the team following the departure of Mesut Özil, who did not count for Mikel Arteta and has gone to Turkish football.
Real Madrid are considering the proposal, according to the cited source, while Arsenal could face more competition for the young Norwegian, from another Premier League club.
The footballer returned to Real Madrid last summer after a year on loan at Real Sociedad, however, he has not enjoyed the minutes he would like. For this reason, Odegaard has asked Real Madrid to let him go in this winter market to add minutes at another club. The Norwegian feels that his role in the team is not what he expected or what he was promised last summer. Arsenal, like Real Sociedad, want to take advantage of this situation and ask for the loan from Odegaard.
