Arsenal and Real Madrid are on the brink of reaching an agreement for the transfer of Norwegian playmaker Martin Odegaard.
The Gunners had opened a dialogue with the Spanish giants earlier in the summer over
a permanent deal after Odegaard impressed on loan during the later part of last season.
Boss Mikel Arteta has remained determined to bring in a playmaker and now Sportsmail understands hands are about to be shaken on a deal worth in the region of £30million (€35m).
