Paul Merson reckons Arsenal will look to sell Martin Odegaard in the summer transfer window with the Norwegian likely to be in demand.<\/p>\n
The Gunners were crowned champions of England last month as Mikel Arteta guided them to their first Premier League title in 22 years.<\/p>\n
Arsenal<\/a>, who also lost in the Champions League final to Paris Saint-Germain, are once again looking to take their team to another level next season.<\/p>\n And one of their dependable players from the last few years could be up for sale after Odegaard had his least effective season since joining Arsenal.<\/p>\n Odegaard could only manage one goal and six assists in the Premier League, which was a far cry from his 2023\/24 total of 18 goal contributions.<\/p>\n It has been reported previously<\/a> that Odegaard and Arsenal team-mate Gabriel Martinelli are \u2018candidates\u2019 to leave in the summer but the Gunners \u2018are not willing to listen to offers below \u20ac95m (\u00a382m)\u2019.<\/p>\n READ: Arsenal put offer \u2018on the table\u2019 for free transfer as Berta eyes Rogers alternative<\/a><\/p>\n And Merson reckons Arsenal could move the Norway international but he warns \u201cthere\u2019ll be teams queuing round the block for him\u201d because of his quality.<\/p>\n Merson said on The Sports Agents<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s madness for me to be saying this, but they probably will be thinking about that [selling Martin Odegaard].<\/p>\n \u201cBut for me, I still think there\u2019ll be teams queuing round the block for him\u2026 When you play in the position that Odegaard plays in, you\u2019re screaming out for pace up front. You have to have pace.\u201d<\/p>\n Pundit: \u2018Odegaard might be leaving Arsenal\u2019<\/p>\n When asked how Arteta should use Odegaard going forward, Liverpool legend Steve Nicol told ESPN: \u201cOdegaard might be leaving Arsenal.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re Odegaard, the club captain and 18 months ago you were the guy. All of a sudden \u2013 and I know he\u2019s had some injuries \u2013 but there\u2019s question marks over whether he actually starts because of Eze.<\/p>\n
