After enduring an underwhelming 2025-26 campaign, the 27-year-old playmaker has bounced back strongly this term, contributing five goals and an assist in 17 matches across all competitions.

Over the course of his six-and-a-half years in North London, Odegaard has cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s finest midfielders.

However, his performances have attracted attention from abroad, with reports claiming Bayern Munich are monitoring his situation, though the German club have yet to submit a formal offer.

With his current deal at the Emirates Stadium running until the summer of 2028, Odegaard addressed the transfer speculation while away on international duty with Norway, insisting he remains settled at Arsenal.

“I’m happy and hope I can stay there for a long time to come, but we haven’t started on that yet,” Odegaard stated, according to Metro.
