Rumours madison is target this summer, any eds got info?
{Ed002's Note - James Maddison (AM) has been scouted by Manchester City, Spurs, Manchester United and Arsenal on a regular basis since moving to Leicester but attempts by Manchester United and Spurs to discuss the player have failed due to them being told that he is not for sale and the likely asking price being very high. Unlikely to leave Leicester this summer.}

ED, tell me to dig deeper if you’ve answered this all ready, but what’s the situation with Odargaard? He seemed to have enjoyed his time here, and Arteta appeared eager to keep him permanently however nothings developed. I’d have thought that if we’re keen and with him not distracted by the Euros, it would be a relatively smooth deal that could be in progress now. I mean Villa have all ready signed someone….
{Ed002's Note - Martin Odegaard (RW/AM) Arsenal beat Real Sociedad to a loan in January but had no option to buy. Real Madrid are happy to include him on a lengthy list of players that they are open to selling or including in exchanges in the summer - and that may suit Seville who have a player that Real Madrid are showing an interest in. Ideally Real Madrid would like an auction for him but will seek €50M plus for a cash sale - else they will simply keep him. Arsenal would consider him on a permanent deal but it depends on finances, which are tight, so that is unlikely.}

Why would you leave Leicester to join us.
{Ed001's Note - in Maddison's case, he has had disciplinary problems there, plus his pay is lower there than Arsenal would give him by a huge margin.}
