English reports claimed on Tuesday that Arsenal hope to complete the loan deal of attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid.

The 22-year-old Norwegian is out of  plans of the Whites' manager Zinedine Zidane this season.

Real Sociedad, where Odegaard spent last season on loan, and Erepisie leaders Ajax were also keen on signing him.

"However, Arsenal have reached an agreement and he could feature on Saturday against Manchester United," BBC reported.

Odegaard joined Real Madrid from Stromgodset in January 2015 and has played nine times for Real this season.

After returning to the Bernabeu in the summer following his Sociedad loan, it seemed he might become a first-team regular at Real Madrid under Zidane, who coached him in the B team when he first joined the club.
