Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has claimed that the Gunners are thinking of selling their captain, Martín Odegaard.
Merson described the development as ‘madness’, insisting that there will be several teams lining up to sign him from Arsenal.
“It’s madness for me to be saying this, but they [Arsenal] probably will be thinking about that [selling Martin Odegaard],” Merson said on The Sports Agents.
“But for me, I still think there will be teams queuing around the block for him. When you play in the position that Odegaard plays in, you are screaming out for pace up front. You have to have pace.”
Odegaard became the club’s first captain since Patrick Vieira to lift the Premier League trophy last season.
The Norwegian midfielder officially joined the Premier League North London club from Real Madrid in 2021.
