Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta this month said that the club would be looking for new recruits after moving on fringe players including playmaker Mesut Ozil, who has made a permanent switch to


Turkish side Fenerbahce after being left out of their Premier League and Europa League squads for this season. Emile Smith Rowe has taken up the number 10 role in Ozil's absence and


loan signing Martin Odegaard will provide squad depth as Arsenal look to move up the standings in the second half of the campaign. The Gunners sit ninth in the Premier League with 30 points


from 20 games. "It's great that we've secured Martin to come to us until the end of the season," said Arteta. "Although still young, he has been playing at the top


level for a while. "Martin will provide us with quality offensive options and we're all excited to be integrating him into our plans between now and May." Here, Express Sport


has rounded up the latest transfer news coming out of the Emirates Stadium. READ MORE: MIKEL ARTETA DROPS MARTIN ODEGAARD DEBUT HINT AHEAD OF MAN UTD CLASH The duo are both on loan from Real

but it’s logical that Arteta said he will play. "The second reason, because I think Arsenal will try to talk to Real Madrid about both Odegaard and Ceballos at the end of the season.


"Odegaard has got a plan to go back to Real Madrid, but maybe he feels that another year away will help."
