"Martin Odegaard and Mikel Arteta have always shared a great relationship at Arsenal. The Spaniard made the midfielder his captain in his second full season and has since trusted him in the middle of the park. Yes, Odegaard hasn't been at his best this season, mainly due to injuries, but some of the speculation that followed was very strange."
"Football London verified the above with their sources inside Arsenal, and it couldn't be further from the truth. The report claims that rumours of a rift were met with 'puzzlement' by people at the club. Furthermore, the report also rubbished the claims that Odegaard wants to leave the club in the summer transfer window."
Speculation emerged regarding a potential falling out between Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and captain Martin Odegaard, fueled by the midfielder's recent poor form due to injuries. Social media rumors suggested a rift would lead to Odegaard's summer departure. However, Arsenal insiders dismissed these claims with puzzlement, confirming the manager and captain maintain a strong relationship. Odegaard, who joined Arsenal on loan in January 2021 and became permanent that summer, was named captain a year later. Sources verified that Odegaard has no intention of leaving the club and previously chose to stay when offered opportunities to depart in 2025.
