Martin Ødegaard is an untouchable part of the Arsenal squad

Arsenal views Martin Ødegaard as a leader capable of remaining with the club for years to come and sustaining his current level of performance; this confidence undoubtedly stems from the coaching staff led by Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal rejected several offers—as reported by YSScores—from Saudi Arabia and various European clubs, in order to retain the 27-year-old Norwegian, whom they view as a cornerstone of the Gunners' long-term project.

Reports also indicate that the player himself is very happy at the Emirates Stadium and sees himself as part of the family; consequently, he is not looking for a move in the near future and wishes to stay and give his all for Arsenal.

Although he does not score or create many goals, he plays a tactical role within the team; Arteta views him in this light, rather than simply as a goalscorer.
