Real Madrid expect Martin Odegaard to return from Arsenal at the end of the season.

Marca says Odegaard is starting to show the kind of form that many expected from him at Arsenal after fighting for a loan move away from Real Madrid, where he was struggling for game time.

This spell at Arsenal isn't going to be forever, though, and Real Madrid still believe that he has a big part to play in their midfield in the future.

The issues with his knee are now a thing of the past and he's playing like the player we all know he is under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal.

In his first month in London, Odegaard has played six matches - four in the Premier League and two in the Europa League - while over his last five months in Madrid he featured just nine times.
