WHAT HAPPENED? The former Real Madrid man spoke about his future and current contract situation at Arsenal while away with the Norwegian national team during the international break. It has been reported that the north Londoners are preparing to offer him improved terms at the Emirates Stadium.

WHAT THEY SAID: "I don't have much to say, apart from the fact that I am very happy at Arsenal and I hope I can be there for a long time. Beyond that, I have no comment right now. Now, it is the national team that is in focus," said Odegaard.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The 24-year-old captained Arsenal to a second-place finish last season under Mikel Arteta after joining them permanently ahead of the 2021-22 season. The Gunners have drawn one and won three of their four games so far this season and sit in fifth position in the table.
