Norwegian Martin Ødegaard, captain of Arsenal, is close to reaching an agreement with the club regarding the extension of his contract, as the Gunners' management is keen to keep him as part of the team's project in the coming years.


According to Nicolò Schira, Arsenal see Martin Ødegaard as a key element in the team and consider him a non-transferable player, which has reflected the club's stance on the offers and inquiries it has received regarding the possibility of signing the player.


Shearer pointed out that Arsenal have rejected several attempts from major European clubs over the past months, alongside interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, to secure the services of Norwegian midfielder Martin Ødegaard.


These developments come as Arsenal are keen to secure Martin Ødegaard's future with a new contract, having become one of the key pillars of the team and its captain, as the club continues to rely on him in their plans to compete for titles.
