MARTIN ODEGAARD is reportedly tempted by the opportunity to join Arsenal on loan this month.
Fabrizio Romano claims the Real Madrid misfit, 22, is giving great consideration to the proposal from Mikel Arteta’s side.
And he will discuss options with family members before deciding on a new destination before the end of the month.
Odegaard has told Real Madrid he wants to leave after making just nine appearances in all competitions this term.
Real Sociedad are understood to be favourites for the Norway international, who excelled there last year before having a two-season loan cut short by Los Blancos.
Ajax have also made an offer for Odegaard, who has enjoyed previous loan spells with Dutch outfits Heerenveen and Vitesse.
All three routes are extremely appealing for the playmaker, who famously joined Real when he was just 16 years old in 2015.
Manchester United were previously linked with Odegaard but are not believed to have made an approach after welcoming Amad Diallo to Old Trafford.
Should he move to the Emirates, Odegaard would fill the void left behind by Mesut Ozil.
The German has joined Fenerbahce on a free transfer and has taken a massive 80 per cent hit on his £350,000-a-week wages to get the move through.

Arsenal are also keen on adding Norwich’s versatile winger Emi Buendia to their ranks before deadline day.
However, the Argentine could cost as much as £50million.
And Arteta could be content enough to land just Odegaard as he looks to climb back up the Premier League table.
