Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is a major injury doubt for Sunday’s North London Derby.
The Arsenal playmaker was removed from Norway’s Nations League match against Austria on Monday night after seeming to turn his ankle.
Odegaard was photographed boarding a plane to London on crutches.
If the Norwegian is unable to play against Tottenham on Sunday, it would be a significant challenge for Michael Arteta, considering Declan Rice is already suspended.
Meanwhile, we have the most recent information on Arsenal’s pursuit of Sporting CP forward Viktor Gyokeres.
Arsenal are allegedly expecting considerable winter interest in William Saliba.
France’s center-back is expected to be pursued by Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and PSG during the upcoming winter transfer window.
But the Gunners value the 23-year-old, who is under contract until 2027, at more over £100 million.
In his Daily Briefing piece for CaughtOffside, journalist Charles Watts stated that if a sporting director at a big club does not monitor Saliba’s career and Arsenal’s performance, they are not doing their job properly.
“But it doesn’t imply he’ll leave soon. Arsenal fought hard to sign Saliba to a new contract just 14 months ago, and the term still has three years to run.
“There is no need to panic, because Saliba is extremely pleased at Arsenal.
“If I were Edu, I’d already be laying the framework for Saliba’s next deal. Because Arsenal must stay up with his rapid ascension to the pinnacle of the game.”
