Arsenal transfer news LIVE Odegaard set to sign for 30m and could face Chelsea Ramsdale deal still on

GOOD MORNING ARSENAL FANS

Arsenal are close to agreeing a deal for Martin Odegaard â€" this time on a permanent deal.

That’s according to David Ornstein, who reports that the 23-year-old could even feature this weekend against Chelsea.

A deal worth £29million is said to have been agreed between the clubs, but there is still a substantial amount of paperwork left to be finalised before an official announcement.

And Sheffield United boss Slavisa Jokanovic says Arsenal remain keen on England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

Jokanovic said: “He is a talented English player and I understand Arsenal are interested, but this is the business.

“If he is one of the best players in the league, his price is high and it’s up to Arsenal if they want him. They need to spend a lot of money.

“I will be disappointed [if he leaves] but it’s part of the realistic situation. Arsenal are pushing from one side and I am pulling from a different side.”

And transfer guru Fabrizio Romano believes long-term Arsenal target Houssem Aouar is still an option for the Gunners.

This time, though, the 23-year-old would be available from Lyon for just £17-21m.

Romano told the Arsenal Lounge Podcast: “It is a completely different situation when they wanted the player last summer, but it was not easy to find an agreement with the player and Lyon at the end of the window.

“But now he could still be an opportunity for Arsenal and for Tottenham. They are both in contact with his agent.”
