Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has refused to comment on Martin Odegaard amid reports that the Gunners are interested in signing him this month.

However, Arteta has revealed that the north London club are working to bring a few players this month.

Bolstering the attacking midfield region is a priority for the Gunners boss, with Mesut Ozil departing and Willian proving to be a massive flop.

We covered yesterday that Arsenal have made a proposal to Real Madrid to sign the 22-year-old attacking midfielder, but there could be stiff competition with an unnamed Premier League club also sniffing around.

When Arteta was asked to comment on the veracity of the Odegaard transfer link, the Spaniard diplomatically distanced himself from the ongoing speculation.

He said: “I cannot comment about players that play for different clubs.”

However, Arteta has admitted that Arsenal are looking at players in different positions, as they are short in numbers in certain areas.
