Arsenal fans demand Odegaard be sold.

Arsenal fans are demanding the club sell Martin Odegaard following the 1-2 defeat to Manchester City in the 33rd round of the Premier League on April 19th.

Odegaard has been disappointing this season.

Traveling to the Etihad, Arsenal were quickly put at a disadvantage when Rayan Cherki opened the scoring for Man City with an impressive piece of skill. Then, a mistake by Gianluigi Donnarumma allowed Kai Havertz to capitalize and equalize, giving the "Gunners" hope.

Nevertheless, the home team still managed to decide the match when Erling Haaland scored the decisive goal, putting immense pressure on Arsenal in the final stages of the season. If they beat Burnley in their rescheduled match, Man City will overtake their rivals in the Premier League standings.

Against this backdrop, Odegaard's lackluster form has become a focal point of criticism. The Norwegian captain has only scored one goal and provided five assists this season, partly due to injury. But that's not enough to satisfy the fans. Many believe Arsenal needs a change in midfield, even calling for Odegaard to be sold in the summer of 2026.

Some fans have openly expressed that "it's time for a refresh," regardless of the season's outcome. However, not everyone agrees. Club legend Tony Adams believes the problem lies in the captaincy selection. He believes Declan Rice is the right person to wear the armband due to his outstanding leadership qualities.

Clearly, the controversy surrounding Odegaard reflects the immense pressure at Arsenal. As the season enters its final stages, every decision, from tactics to personnel, could determine the fate of the Gunners.
