Chelsea Keeping Tabs On Odegaard Situation

According to reports, Chelsea are currently monitoring the situation of Real Madrid midfielder, Martin Odegaard in the Spanish capital.

Chelsea are monitoring the Norwegian international at Real Madrid in a bid to lure him to Stamford Bridge as speculation about his future continues.

It is believed that Real Madrid are looking to send some of their players packing in a bid to raise funds to land their major targets this summer.

Earlier on, Sergio Ramos left Madrid for PSG on a free transfer after his contract at the club came to an end. Meanwhile, Raphael Varane left for Manchester United in a £41 million deal. Odegaard may be the next player to exit the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 22-year-old experienced life in England last season when he was sent out on loan to Arsenal. He spent half of the season in North London and is reportedly open to a Premier League move for the forthcoming season.

Considering the number of players available at the Gunners’ disposal and probably tactical decisions by the coach, he was not given enough playing time during his loan spell, scoring just once and picking up two assists in nine league appearances for the Gunners.
