It was a fairly difficult campaign Arsenal So far this season.
Instead of fighting at the top of the table as they have been for the past two years, Mikel Arteta Men currently find themselves a Third place is very far away in Premier League.
One of the biggest challenges the North Londoners have faced this season has been creating chances from open play, despite the return of the club's captain Martin Odegaard This problem has been alleviated to some extent.
The Norwegian maestro is undoubtedly one of the club's most important players, so recent reports linking him with someone who could be the next Odegaard should get fans excited.
Arsenal transfer news
According to According to the latest report from Spain– Arsenal are very interested in Las Palmas gem Alberto Molero.
In fact, the report claims that the youngster has already reached an 'agreement in principle' to join the Gunners in the summer transfer window.
While this is undeniably impressive groundwork from the north Londoners, they would still have to pay a hefty fee to get their man, and according to the report, he has a €60m release clause in his current contract, which converts to around £10 million. 50 m.
That may be a lot of money for a player who is still relatively unknown to English football fans, but Molero looks to be incredibly talented and could end up becoming the next Odegaard at Arsenal.
Why could Molero be the next Odegaard at Arsenal?
So, let's get straight to the point next. Why could Molero be the next Odegaard at Arsenal?
Well, there are a few reasons, the first being that the 21-year-old, like the Norwegian star, will be a young, exciting, attack-minded midfielder making his way from La Liga to the Premier League.
A move from the giant that is Real Madrid is certainly not quite the same as a move from Las Palmas, but like the Spaniard, the Gunners captain started out playing for a smaller Spanish side at Real Sociedad, where he also became a regular for the team before making the move to English football.
The second similarity is that, like his potential teammate, the “Silky” prodigy, e.g It was named after talent scout Jacek Kulig– Able to play in more than one position.
For example, across his short career so far, the Santa Cruz-born “entertainment” gem, e.g Analyst Ben Mattinson called ithe has He participated in 55 matches as a left winger28 in attacking midfield, 23 on the right wing, 4 in midfield and a handful in other positions.

Ultimately, comparisons with Odegaard aside, Molero simply looks like an incredibly promising young talent, as evidenced by the fact that he has already acquired a wealth of talent. 24 goal contributions in 128 senior matches He participated with Las Palmas even though he was only 21 years old.
So, although there is an element of risk in paying so much for an up-and-coming young talent, this seems to be a deal Arsenal must do everything they can to get over the line before someone else pounces.
