Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard says he hopes to remain at the club for years to come, though contract talks have not yet begun.
Martin Odegaard has expressed his desire to remain at Arsenal, telling Norwegian reporters while on international duty that he hopes to stay 'for a long time to come'. The club captain has 18 months left on his current contract at the Emirates Stadium. He has played in all ten of Arsenal's Premier League matches this season, scoring three goals including the winner against Hull City.
Arsenal are keen to agree a contract extension with Odegaard to prevent him entering the final year of his deal. Metro reports that Bayern Munich have shown interest in the midfielder, with Sky Germany reporting the German club has maintained 'ongoing contact' with him. The report adds that Arsenal would consider selling him next summer if a new deal is not agreed, rather than risk losing him on a free transfer.
Odegaard acknowledged that contract discussions have not yet begun. Despite injuries and inconsistent form raising questions about his future last season, he has returned to prominence this campaign and remains one of Mikel Arteta's first-choice midfielders.
