Real Madrid 'hope Martin Odegaard will be back to his best after spell at Arsenal'... with Norwegian still part of Zinedine Zidane's plans for the future

Real Madrid are hopeful Martin Odegaard will be back to his best in LaLiga next season after impressing in the first month of his loan spell at Arsenal.

The Norwegian, who featured only nine times for Madrid this season before moving to north London in a six-month loan deal in January, has featured six times for Mikel Arteta's side thus far.

The 22-year-old has been praised for the creative impetus he has added in the Gunners midfield but Madrid are definitely planning for him to return and improve the team next season, according to Spanish outlet Marca.
