Martin Odegaard completes Arsenal switch

Arsenal have agreed to sign a loan from Real Madrid to Martin Odegaard. Norway's midfielder chose to leave Bernabeu in search of first-team football. It was rumored that Real Sociedad, Leicester, and other European clubs were interested in 22-year-old football.

Ethan Ampadu's Sheffield United spell has been much more fruitful after a disastrous loan to RB Leipzig last season. The Wales international making 16 appearances this season.

That has put some doubt on the feasibility of this loan, with mooted whispers of a recall. Chelsea have not put a recall clause into the loan deal for the 20-year-old, and thus, even though chelsea wanted to, could not get the youngster back. This has also been confirmed by the Sh...
