Arsenal should prioritize a contract extension for Martin Odegaard

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has recorded four goals in his first five appearances of the 2026/27 season. The midfielder’s recent form follows a challenging 2025/26 campaign hindered by seven distinct injury absences and a single goal in 36 matches. His performance against Napoli on Wednesday, which included a goal from outside the box, resulted in his fourth Player of the Match award of the young season. Odegaard, who recently completed a successful World Cup campaign with Norway, stated that he is now fully fit after a productive summer. With his current contract set to expire in 2028, Arsenal officials are expected to shift focus toward securing the midfielder's long-term future at the club.
