Mikel Arteta admits Arsenal will look into the possibility of signing Real Madrid's Martin Odegaard 'in the next few weeks' after the Norwegian impressed during his four-month loan spell at the Emirates.
The playmaker started and played 86 minutes in the Gunners' 2-0 win against Brighton on the final day, meaning Arteta's side finished a difficult Premier League campaign in eighth place.
The 22-year-old joined from Madrid in January on a loan deal until the end of the season, scoring two goals and registering two assists in 20 appearances and now Arteta is hopeful the club can complete a deal with Odegaard's parent club over a permanent transfer.
