Martin Odegaard is reportedly ready to discuss fresh terms with Arsenal to extend his stay in north London.
That’s according to 90 Min, who claim that Arsenal will offer Odegaard a significant pay rise to remain at the club.
Odegaard has been exceptional for the Gunners this season after he was named the club’s captain last summer.
The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the league and it’s no surprise that Arsenal want to tie him down on a new long-term deal.
Indeed, The Athletic reported this week that Arsenal will offer Odegaard a new contract after they’ve finished working on deals for William Saliba and Bukayo Saka.
Now, it seems that the Norwegian playmaker is ready to commit his long-term future to the club.
