Martin Odegaard: Arsenal target 'wants to go to Real Sociedad' from Real Madrid

Arsenal target Martin Odegaard would prefer a move to Real Sociedad if he leaves Real Madrid on loan this month, says Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.

Odegaard has fallen out of favour at the Bernabeu in recent months.

"He wants to go to Real Sociedad and they want him," said Balague. "They're waiting on Real Madrid's decision."

Odegaard, who was tipped as a future star when he moved to Spain from Norwegian side Stromgodset as a 16-year-old, impressed on loan at Sociedad last season.

After returning to the Bernabeu in the summer, it seemed he might become a first-team regular under Zinedine Zidane, who coached him in the B team when he first joined the club and is now in charge of the senior side.
