Arteta hopes Arsenal can take 'relationship forward' with loan star Odegaard

Mikel Arteta has hinted Arsenal would like to turn Martin Odegaard’s loan at Arsenal into a permanent arrangement.

The Norwegian midfielder joined the Gunners on loan from Real Madrid towards the end of the January transfer window.

Odegaard has made a promising start to life in north London - so much so that Arteta said he has the potential to become one of the best players in the world - and the Gunners coach is hopeful of being able to persuade the player to remain at Arsenal.
