Martin Odegaard: Arsenal 'on the brink' of completing move for Real Madrid ace

Arsenal are on the brink of reaching an agreement with Real Madrid to sign their Norwegian playmaker Martin Odegaard.

The Gunners had began negotiations with the Spanish giants earlier in the summer over a permanent deal, after Odegaard impressed on loan during the second half of last season.

Both parties have now agreed that Arsenal will pay an initial fee of £30million plus bonuses for the 22-year-old - who is currently in London ahead of his medical.
