"Charles Watts has given the hint that North London outfit Arsenal are close to completing the signature of Real Madrid star Martin Ødegaard, who was once compared to Lionel Messi.    He stated that people within the Gunners are confident of getting the deal done for Martin Ødegaard as there are just a few steps that need to be completed before an official announcement is made.    He said: “Sources at Arsenal have confirmed to me that they are now pretty confident that they will get this one done. There’s still work to be done; there have been strong reports in Spain that it is absolutely a done deal.    “People at Arsenal are saying to me that is not the case yet, but they are confident that they will be able to sign Martin Ødegaard, but there is still things that need to be done between Arsenal and Madrid to get this one over the line.”    This remains a major boost to the North London outfit and their fans as the arrival of Martin Odegaard could certainly be seen as a significant one if the Gunners can pull it off because of the creativity he would be adding to the team.         \tMesut Ozil close to Arsenal exit, reports   \tBerbatov gives verdict on Donny van de Beek’s United future   \tJurgen Klopp told the next big player Liverpool should sign        Although Martin Ødegaard has not lived up to the expectations and prospects he had as a younger player but the North London outfit are hoping that he can get back to his best when he leaves Real Madrid.    While an announcement is yet to be done, we expect to learn of a loan deal as the Spanish giants will not accept to let go of the star player any cheap.    Mikel Arteta has already hinted that he has succeeded in trimming the squad with the likes of Sokratis Papa, Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac already on their way out of the club.    Mesut Ozil has also parted ways with the club after and that gives room to the Spanish manager to bring in more new faces and he has stated that he is opened to signing in all positions needing reinforcement.    The Gunners have already secured the signature of Mat Ryan on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion having lost his place in manager Graham Potter’s team."
