Arsenal and Real Madrid have reportedly come to an agreement that they will wait until the summer to discuss Martin Odegaard's future.
The Norway captain joined the Gunners on loan from Los Blancos in the January transfer window and has hit the ground running in north London.
Arsenal are very keen to keep the midfielder on a permanent basis, but parent club Real Madrid haven't confirmed their long-term plans for Odegaard.
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is expected to consider the progress the Norwegian has made at the end of the season and make a decision on whether he has a future at the Bernabeu.
According to Goal, Arsenal have agreed to wait until the summer to talk business.
Odegaard is contracted until 2023 at Real Madrid, meaning the Spanish giants are under no pressure to sell.
But the 22-year-old, who has made only 11 appearances for Real Madrid since joining the club back in 2015, appears to be warming to the idea of joining Arsenal permanently.
He is a big fan of Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, and recently heaped praise on the Spaniard.
Odegaard told the Premier League: "Amazing! He is a really, really good coach, really intelligent, [knows] all the details in the game.
"He's a master of seeing the details. And the way he's coaching us and helping us to achieve things, we're lucky to have him.
"So many things to learn [from him], and as I said, about the details, that's something I really like and I find it interesting. So, yeah, it's very nice to have him as a coach."
