What’s next for Martin Odegaard?
Odegaard is an important player for Arsenal, but it probably makes sense to consider his status after the Gunners’ injury-hit season.
Even though the 27-year-old could be a world-class player on any given day, it seems like he can no longer stay healthy and impact games quite like he used to.
Arsenal spent heavily on new players last summer, so they may need to be more cautious this year and make a big sale before making further additions.
From that perspective, it could make sense for the AFC to consider making an offer for Odegaard if someone makes a big enough bid.
Still, the issue is likely to be resolved later, with all focus now on Arsenal’s upcoming Champions League semi-final and Premier League title race.
