🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Ødegaard Issues Warning to Arsenal Board Over Star Sale Plans.
Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has reportedly issued a stern warning to the club’s hierarchy amid ongoing plans to offload a key first-team player to help fund the signing of a new striker this summer.
According to multiple sources close to the Emirates, the player in question is not academy stars Chidozie “Dowman” Obi-Martin or Ethan Nwaneri, but rather a seasoned first-team regular whose departure could have major tactical and emotional repercussions.
Ødegaard is said to be deeply concerned that selling such an integral squad member would disrupt dressing room chemistry, weaken the team’s competitiveness across four competitions, and contradict the club’s public ambitions of challenging Manchester City for the Premier League title.
While the identity of the player hasn’t been officially confirmed, speculation suggests it could be Thomas Partey, Gabriel Magalhães, or even Emile Smith Rowe — all of whom have been linked with exits in recent weeks.
The Gunners are actively pursuing a top-level striker, with names like Victor Osimhen, Joshua Zirkzee, and Alexander Isak repeatedly mentioned in connection with Mikel Arteta’s side. However, Arsenal are under pressure to comply with financial regulations, and may be forced to sacrifice a key asset to balance the books before launching a marquee signing.
Ødegaard’s intervention highlights the growing tension between squad stability and transfer ambition, as Arsenal look to build on back-to-back top-two finishes.
As the situation develops, the board will have to weigh the long-term value of a high-profile sale against the short-term risk of unsettling their captain and core squad just days before their Community
Shield clash.
