Gunners captain Martin Odegaard is reportedly closing in on a transfer to Turkish club Galatasaray, with personal terms agreed upon between the player and his new potential employer.
Odegaard's agent, Bjorn Kvarme, has been in Istanbul discussing the deal, and it appears that there are no remaining issues for the Norway international to accept the move.
However, club-to-club talks are still ongoing, with discussions taking place over a potential €40m deal.
Odegaard has been a key player for Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, and has been instrumental in the team's success in recent seasons.
However, the 27-year-old has struggled with recurring injury problems in recent times, which has hindered his performance on the pitch.
Despite his recent form, Odegaard remains a highly valuable asset to Arsenal, and replacing him will not be an easy task.
The market is currently dominated by high-priced players, making it difficult for Arsenal to find a suitable replacement for Odegaard at a reasonable cost.
The €40m transfer fee that Galatasaray and Arsenal are reportedly discussing could help alleviate some of the financial burden associated with replacing Odegaard.
However, it is still unclear whether selling Odegaard will be the best decision for the club, given his past contributions to the team's success.
