Odegaard COMPLETES his medical ahead of Arsenal move

The Gunners could finally be about to announce the Martin Odegaard transfer imminently as the Real Madrid attacking midfielder is said to have passed his medical.

The Norway international has not featured regularly in his time at the Bernabeu but shone on loan at Real Sociedad last season.

Arsenal fans will now hope he can show that kind of form again in his time at the Emirates Stadium, particularly as the club could do with a replacement for Mesut Ozil after his move to Fenerbahce.

Odegaard enjoyed a very good loan spell at Real Sociedad least season, and was hoping that this season, he would finally get the opportunity to showcase his talents and get his name on the regular starting sheet at the club. However, that never happened, as Zinedine Zidane did not trust the talent, and when Arsenal came calling, he jumped at the opportunity to test himself at the London club, in the best League in the world.

The rumours have all been positive about his move to Arsenal, and he now looks set to be announced inside the next 24 hours, as Sky Sports reports that the 23 year-old has completed his medical ahead of his move, and he could be ready to play as early as the weekend. Odegaard is expected to join on a loan deal until the end of the season, with no option to buy at the end of it, and will be expected to bring competition to Emile Smith Rowe for a role in behind the forward, although he can play wider if needed.

Look, Arsenal are getting a very special player that will go on to impress the fans, if he gets the game time that he is hoping for. He is a very good player that just needs to play under the right manager, and he may be able to get a permanent one if he impresses Odegaard’s move could now be made official in the next 24 hours after completing his medical checks.
