'Odegaard wouldn't want to sign for a different manager' - Arsenal loanee's future tied to Arteta, says Winterburn

The former Gunners defender believes a deal could be done with Real Madrid this summer, but only if no changes are made in the dugout

Arsenal still have a chance of signing Martin Odegaard on a permanent basis says Nigel Winterburn, but the Gunners have been warned that the Real Madrid loanee "wouldn't want to sign for a different manager".

Mikel Arteta was the man to take the Norwegian playmaker to Emirates Stadium during the winter transfer window, but questions are being asked of his future in another inconsistent campaign.

Winterburn hopes continuity and stability will be sought, allowing a side in danger of missing out on continental competition in 2021-22 to start putting recruitment plans in place for a brighter future.
