‘Barring any monumental twists between now and the end of the season, the Gunners captain will be going nowhere this summer.’

The claim from Football Transfersabout Odegaard’s future backs TEAMtalk’s stance that Arsenal will not sell him.

Odegaard himself said this month that he is happy at Arsenal and is not looking to move on.

The midfielder told FourFourFour when asked if he feels at home in London: “For sure.

“Moving around so much was good in one way, because I learned a lot and had to adapt, whether to different teams, different coaches or different cultures.

“But at the same time, you miss something. You miss stability, the feeling of being in one place and really belonging.

“That’s what I’ve found here at Arsenal and in London. From the first moment I walked into the training ground, I felt as if I belonged here. I felt at home, and that allowed me to settle properly.

“It’s a nice feeling to be part of something for a long time – to be part of a process, to grow together, to keep getting better.

“When I came here, we weren’t where we are now. To be part of that journey means a lot to me. It’s the same with the national team.”

While Odegaard seems to be on course to stay at Arsenal, the midfielder will not feature for Arsenal in their Champions League game on Wednesday evening.

Arsenal will take on Bayer Leverkusen away from home at the BayArena in the first leg of the last-16 tie.

Odegaard will not play because of a persistent knee problem, with Arteta saying: “He’s out.”
