Mikel Arteta Arsenal
A massive summer lies ahead for Arsenal and manager Mikel Arteta. Of all the positions that do need bolstering, however, the central attacking-midfield role is the one that is poised to attract the most attention, as almost everyone connected with the Gunners is hoping that it will be Martin Odegaard that fills the role. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has provided Arsenal with fresh hope about the prospect of re-signing Odegaard this summer after admitting that some of the club’s younger players could be allowed to leave on loan or on a permanent basis.
Florentino Perez said: “We have 35 players and can only register 25… Ceballos, Kubo, Odegaard, we can’t fit them all. We’re talking with players and their agents. We have a lot of young players, if they can’t develop here they can go on loan and come back.”
