The Arsenal Football are finding ways to finalize the Norwegian deal who impressed on loan at Emirates Stadium last season.
Gunners are close in chasing a permanent move for Martin Odegaard after stepping up talks with Real Madrid.
He spents six months on loan at Emirates Stadium in 2020-21, and endeared himself to Arsenal fans with his infectious energy in the middle of the pitch and eye for defence-splitting passes.
The 22-year-old returned to Real for their latest pre-season campaign in June,
but the Spanish giants are now open to his departure on a permanent basis, with the Gunners eager to land him back to Emirate Stadium.

Arsenal are hopeful of reaching an agreement to buy Odegaard outright after accelerating negotiations with Real, who could let him leave Santiago Bernabeu for around £30 million ($41m).
Gunners would like to finalise the transfer before their next Premier League game against Chelsea this weekend, but he would have to be registered before midday on Friday to be eligible to take part at the Emirates.
It has been reported that Odegaard will commit to a five-year deal with Arsenal, having been left out of Real’s 4-1 opening La Liga victory against Alaves on Saturday.
