Some Arsenal fans have reacted after Carlo Ancelotti benched Martin Odegaard yesterday.

What’s the story?

Real Madrid took on AC Milan in a pre-season friendly.

However, despite Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde missing from the matchday squad, the Norwegian was on the bench. Casemiro, Luka Modric and Isco started in a three-man midfield as Los Blancos drew 0-0.

The Norway international has been growing frustrated at his role at the Bernabeu.

There were conflicting reports about the 22-year-old’s situation last week. Cuarto claimed Ancelotti wants to keep the ace due to Kroos’ injury, while football.london claimed Odegaard had concerns over his role.

Arsenal have their best chance now

Getting benched could be a sign the 23-year-old’s future lies away from the Spanish capital.

Arsenal have a better chance of signing Odegaard after he was benched yesterday.

And what a transfer it would prove to be. While the ace wasn’t consistent, he showed flashes of quality that showed off his immense quality.

The comeback away to West Ham was by far one of his best performances as he led Arsenal’s fight from 3-0 down.

And with Los Blancos seeking just £35m, it proves too good of an opportunity to turn down.
