Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has signed a new long-term deal at the club, which will see him remain at the Emirates until at least 2028.
Martin Odegaard Signs New Gunners Deal
Odegaard featured in all but one of Arsenal’s Premier League games last season and played a pivotal role in helping the club return to the Champions League.
The Gunners returned to Europe’s elite in style on Tuesday night as the Norway midfielder got on the scoresheet with a superb strike during the side’s 4-0 win over PSV.

Odegaard only joined Arsenal on loan initially in August 2021, before signing permanently for £30m. His move has gone down as one of the best transfers for the club in recent years.
The 24-year-old has now scored 27 goals alongside 15 assists in 112 appearances for the North London side.
His performances in red and white led to him emerging as a key player in Mikel Arteta’s team and he was appointed club captain last summer following Alexandre Lacazette’s departure.

Following the announcement of his contract extension, Odegaard said: “It was an easy decision for me. I felt connected and I felt at home here since the first day.
“And also I was moving around a lot and struggling to really settle down, so I felt like I needed a place to come and settle down and to kind of find a home.
“(There are) amazing people here at the club, the fans as well, everything around the club is just a good match for me.
“Of course, I am thinking about it (winning trophies). That is the big dream, the big goal, to win things with the club. That’s why I have signed here as well, because I believe we can achieve some great things.”
