Odegaard, 22, underwent a pre-loan to the Gunners for the remainder of the season.
The Norwegian foreigner had been disappointed by the lack of minutes this quarter.
And Odegaard made it clear to chief Zinedine Zidane that he was looking to go through the first-team action.
The former Royal Society is now in a position to marry Mikel Arteta and give Arsenal more roles in the last third.
North Londoners have a number 10 vintage after Mesut Ozil’s loose move to Fenerbahce, and Odegaard can also play on the right wing.
But one guy who draws inspiration from Odegaard’s habit is Valdano.
The 65-year-old former Argentinedelantero scored 56 goals in three years with Los Blancos between 1984 and 1987.
And that looking for a loan, Valdano believes that Odegaard deserves to paint on his mentality to succeed in the Spanish capital.
Valdano told El Transistor: “The quality that Odegaarded possesses is for this Real Madrid.
“I don’t think Odegaard played badly. Maybe he was a little conservative when he got here, maybe he lacked bolder actions.
But he lacked patience to remain in the Real. Al final, competing with two stars such as Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.
“I’m more involved with his mentality. It’s valuable for a genuine player to leave his post without that patience.
“It’s any player in front of him. I’m surprised he left the club and left his post open to others. “
Odegaard may not be the only attack reinforcement in the Emirates this month, as Arsenal are also interested in Julian Draxler of Paris Saint-Germain.
