The Athletic: Martin Odegaard 'generated interest' from other teams before Arsenal renewal (reliability: 5 stars)

Martin Odegaard has committed his future to Arsenal, signing a new contract last week to become the highest-earning player at the Emirates Stadium.

According to The Athletic, the 24-year-old 'was starting to generate interest from elsewhere' after his impressive displays for the Gunners last season.

However, 'no discussions were entertained' because the skipper was focused on prolonging his stay at Arsenal and developing under Mikel Arteta.

Josh Kroenke was the 'driving force' behind the new long-term deal for Odegaard as the Gunners look to mount another Premier League title challenge.
