Arsenal have announced the signing of Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid on loan until the end of the season.
The 22-year-old has left the LaLiga giants in a bid to get regular football. Odegaard played just nine times in all competitions for Madrid this season.
His decision to join the Gunners was aided by a chat with the Arsenal manager. “I spoke to him (Arteta) before coming here, of course,” Odegaard told Arsenal’s website.
