There is genuine interest in Martin Odegaard from Juventus. Former Arsenal player Anders Limpar has said that it would be dangerous to sell Odegaard as both Rice and Zubimendi would suffer from his absence. TEAMtalk correspondent Graeme Bailey revealed earlier this month that Odegaard is happy in north London. Sources indicate that the playmaker intends to commit his future by signing a new contract with the Gunners.

According to TEAMtalk, intermediaries have gauged potential interest in Martin Ødegaard, with enquiries emerging from Italy where both Juventus and Inter Milan were alerted to his situation. However, sources close to the player's representatives and Arsenal have strongly dismissed any suggestion that the midfielder is seeking a move. TEAMtalk understands that Ødegaard is determined to commit his future to the club, and manager Mikel Arteta is said to have no desire for his captain to leave.
