Arsenal make second Odegaard approach

Arsenal are refusing to back down in their pursuit of Real Madrid playmaker Martin Odegaard.

The Gunners have made a second approach for the Norway international within 48 hours of having their first one turned down by Los Blancos.

After impressing during his loan spell at Real Sociedad in 2019-20, the 22-year-old midfielder was called back by Zinedine Zidane.

Odegaard, however, has largely struggled for regular first-team minutes this season, having made just five starts across all competitions, and therefore is wanting to leave the Santiago Bernabeu. [Sky Sports]

Aouar could snub Arsenal move.

Lyon star Houssem Aouar’s preferred choices of destination are Real Madrid or FC Barcelona.

The Frenchman has been heavily linked with a switch to Arsenal. Mikel Arteta, who is looking to add creativity in the middle of the park for his team, is an admirer of the player.

However, the Gunners’ pursuit of the midfielder could become ‘complicated’ as both Real Madrid and Barcelona, though yet to make a formal offer, are keeping tabs on him. [ESPN]

The Nerazzurri plan on making a move for the 32-year-old after raise some extra funds by cashing in on Christian Eriksen in the coming days.
