Odegaard discusses Arsenal contract situation

Martin Odegaard says he is happy at Arsenal and hopes to remain at the club for “a long time to come” despite talks over a new contract having yet to begin.

The Arsenal midfielder has made clear his desire to continue his future in north London when asked about his contract situation while on international duty with Norway.

“I’m happy and hope I can stay there for a long time to come, but we haven’t started on that yet,” Odegaard said.

The Gunners skipper has a year-and-a-half left to run on his current deal and discussions over a new contract are expected to take place in the near future.
