'Our Mesut Ozil is back' - Arsenal's Nigerian fans react to permanent signing of Odegaard

English Premier League side Arsenal have completed the permanent transfer of Martin Odegaard from Real Madrid but the attacking midfielder will not be available for selection in Sunday's meeting with Chelsea as the Gunners are awaiting visa clearance.

The Norway international earned himself a permanent deal following a productive loan spell in the second half of last season, with a goal involvement of four in 20 appearances across all competitions.
