Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal has what it takes to secure Norwegian playmaker Martin Odegaard on a long-term basis.

Martin Odegaard has been impressive, ever since he made his way to the English capital.

Odegaard's move to Arsenal

Due to the presence of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde, Odegaard found it tough to get quality playtime in Madrid. He was then loaned to Arsenal during the January transfer window.

Odegaard's presence immediately felt at Arsenal

Ever since coming to Arsenal, the Norwegian playmaker has produced a series of quality performances.

On his part, Mikel Arteta has been impressed by the Norwegian's performance. In line with that, he is looking to get a firm hold of the playmaker on a long term basis.

Long-term options available to the Gunners

Real Madrid are most likely not the give out Odegaard on a permanent deal. Especially if he keeps up with his current quality displays.

Nonetheless, Arsenal could look to obtain his services on another season-long loan.

Another great option for the gunners is this. Get Odegaard on a permanent deal while accepting a possible buy-back clause from Real.

Conclusion

Mikel Arteta has made public his admiration for Odegaard. So, as expected he would most likely take advantage of the long-term options available to him.
