"Real Madrid and Arsenal have been negotiating for Ødegaard also tonight," Romano tweeted in the early hour of Saturday.
"The agreement is really close as reported, there are still details to be sorted out. No Real Sociedad, no Ajax, Odegaard want Arsenal.
He's now pushing to join #AFC in the coming hours."
The Gunners have gone so far in their negotiations with Real Madrid to land the 22-year-old Norwegian to Emirates Stadium on loan.
