Arsenal Fans Praise 'Agent Odegaard' After Sending Transfer Message To Erling Haaland During Interview

Martin Odegaard has said in a recent interview that Norway teammate Erling Haaland "needs to come to Arsenal" if he decides to move to the Premier League this summer.

Haaland has been heavily linked with a move away from Borussia Dortmund in recent months.

In fact, it was reported earlier this month that Manchester City have already agreed personal terms with Haaland's representatives ahead of a transfer, with the 21-year-old being offered a 'substantial financial package' worth around £500,000-per-week, say Sportsmail.

If those reports are indeed true, then Haaland will become the Premier League's highest paid player. But amid all the speculation, Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard has sent his international teammate a cheeky transfer message ahead of the summer window.

City, who are expected to activate Haaland's £63 million release clause, certainly look like they have the upper hand.

But there's no harm in trying, is there? When asked about Haaland's future by presenter Alison Bender, the former Real Madrid man praised Haaland while dropping a far-from-subtle transfer message.

Odegaard told Stadium Astro: "He’s a funny guy, a good guy and he’s a good friend of mine a great players as well of course so we will see what he will do I don’t know.

"If he comes to England he needs to come to us of course but I don’t know what he will do, but he is a great guy."

The Arsenal midfielder added: "To be honest we haven’t talked too much about it, I know he has so many people trying to ask him and to tell him what to do and I don’t want to do that.

"He’s a beast he’s strong, he’s fast, I think he has everything I think he can play in every league in every country to be honest."

Earlier this week, a picture of a young Haaland wearing an Arsenal shirt emerged online, which brought plenty of reaction from Gunners fans on social media.

Haaland is also a huge fan of international teammate Odegaard. Back in October, after the striker scored a hat-trick as Norway thumped Romania 4-0 in the Nations League, the Borussia Dortmund man praised Arsenal's number eight.

Odegaard dropped two assists for Haaland in that game and after the full-time whistle, the 21-year-old told TV2: "I just have to pay tribute to him a little. Finally he came to his senses and played the ball to me.

"Yes, I can simply split it (the hat-trick) in two (and share with Odegaard). It's nice to play with Odegaard. It will only get better in the years to come. We are still young."
