Martin Odegaard says Arsenal contract talks have not begun
The Arsenal captain wants to remain at the club, with his existing deal running until the end of the 2027-28 season.
Martin Odegaard says he has not begun talks with Arsenal about extending his contract, but hopes to remain with the club for a long time. The Norway international discussed his future while away with his national team.
His agreement runs through the 2027-28 season. Odegaard said he was happy at Arsenal and wanted to stay, while making clear that discussions about a new deal had yet to start.
The midfielder has captained Mikel Arteta's side since the summer of 2022. He lifted the Premier League trophy as captain last season, despite injuries interrupting his campaign.
This season, Odegaard has started each of Arsenal's 12 games across the Premier League and Champions League, recording four goals and an assist. Norway face Wales and Denmark in the Nations League before he returns to club duty, with Arsenal then due to visit Newcastle United in the Premier League.
