He finished the Premier League and Arsenal did it by beating Brighton 2-0 with a double from Pépé that, however, does not serve him much.: he is eighth and therefore will not play European competition next season, Tottenham's triumph against Leicester deprived him of the consolation of, at least, being able to play the new Conference League.
The end of the course also marks the end of Odegaard's current assignment with the 'gunner' team; the Norwegian, who left for London in January, will return to the discipline of Real Madrid with his future in the air. Although if it were up to Miker Arteta, coach of the English team, sure that Odegaard would continue at Arsenal.
Madrid-Arsenal negotiations for Odegaard
After the win against Brighton, the coach sent his message: “We have a very clear and determined opinion on what we would like to do. But he is not our player. I do not know what can happen, it is not in our hands, in the next few days there will be negotiations. We have done everything possible to get Martin to play for the team, hopefully we have given him the feeling that this is a good place for him. “Arteta anticipated, de facto, that Arsenal will fight for the continuity of Odegaard, either in loan or transfer format.
The loan of Odegaard in London has been profitable for both parties: the Norwegian has played 20 games with the Arsenal shirt, in which he has scored two goals and given two assists, the last in the duel against Brighton. Odegaard came out in January after not having played even 400 minutes in the first months of competition; Zidane had little confidence in him.
