Arteta admits he wants to make Odegaard's move permanent
Since joining Arsenal on loan from Real Madrid in January, the Norwegian has made a promising start to life in north London as the manager hopes to be able to keep him at the club further.
“We have Martin for a few months from Real Madrid and first of all we have to maximise this time with him to try to bring to the team all the qualities he has,”
Arteta
said.
“At the end of the season we will sit together and decide where we can take that relationship forward. At the moment it doesn’t just depend on us.”
On Odegaard's leading gift, the Spaniard added: “On the pitch he is showing a lot of character and a lot of intelligence. They are characteristics that a leader should have.
“He has been here a very short time but he has adapted very quickly. He is getting more and more respect from the players and the staff and his weight on the team will increase with every week.”
