[인터풋볼] Reporter Lee Hyun-ho = Martin Odegard (22, Norway) could have gone to Tottenham instead of Arsenal.
Arsenal announced on the 27th (Korean time) to sign Odegard on loan. The contract period is until the end of this season. With a weekly wage of 38,000 pounds (about 58 million won) and a rental transfer fee of 1.8 million pounds (about 2.73 billion won), the number is number 11.
After joining the Real Madrid first team at the age of 17 in 2015, Odegard, who was expected to be a world-class prospect, continued his career on loan at Real Sociedad until last season. Last season’s Sociedad record was 7 goals and 9 assists in 36 games.
Odegarde chose Arsenal after receiving a love call from Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta. “Before coming to Arsenal, I had a conversation with Director Arteta. I felt like a great coach. Director Arteta’s influence was great when I came here.”
Odegard’s transfer to Arsenal has already been announced, but the underworld work that Tottenham has attempted in the past has been revealed. Norwegian journalist Arylas Uld Sadah said, “Not only Arsenal but Tottenham have been aiming for Odegard. Midfielder Dele Ali was trying to fill Ali’s gap with Odegaard in a situation where it could be transferred to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).”
Ali’s PSG transfer theory was quite specific. Mauricio Pochettino, who played Ali in Tottenham, has made plans to take Ali with him as PSG manager. Ali’s transfer to PSG seemed smooth, as Ali’s position in Tottenham was narrowing. However, when Ali’s PSG transfer didn’t work, Tottenham was passive about signing Odegard on loan. Through this opportunity, Arsenal succeeded in harboring Odegard.
