Real Madrid want to re-sign Martin Odegaard?

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in re-signing Arsenal star Martin Odegaard in future.

The Norwegian joined the Gunners on a permanent basis last year following a six-month loan deal.

He has since evolved into a fantastic player for the club and he is currently indispensable from the starting line-up.

The 24-year-old, who is also club-captain, has produced several stand-out displays and Madrid are now keeping tabs.

Los Blancos are unlikely to make an approach next year, but they could be tempted to re-sign him in the long run.

As things stand, Arsenal have no plans of parting ways with their prized asset but Madrid have the first refusal.

Odegaard has been a key player for the Gunners this term, registering six goals and four assists from 14 league games.

He has four goal contributions in his last two matches alone and will be aiming to replicate the form at Brighton.

Brighton have been a bogey club for the Gunners and they will face a big test of their title credentials on New Year's Eve.
