Odegaard scored as Arsenal went 2-0 up inside 10 minutes.
But West Ham produced an incredible comeback as they secured a 2-2 draw to dent the Gunners’ title hopes.
After the match, Rice and Odegaard were seen deep in talks.
An Arsenal jersey bearing the Norwegian’s name and number was then produced.
And Rice held it tight as Odegaard autographed the shirt with his signature.
England star Rice loves collecting jerseys from his biggest rivals, and boasts an incredible collection featuring the likes of Mason Mount, Harry Kane and Jack Grealish.
But Arsenal fans saw the interaction with Odegaard as a clear sign that Rice is going to join them this summer.
The powerhouse is looking to leave West Ham in search of Champions League football.

One noted: “100 per cent going to Arsenal.”
Another added: “He could have waited until the summer when on the same but I can’t blame the guy.”
Speaking after the game, Odegaard urged Arsenal team-mates to keep their heads up despite handing advantage to Man City in the title race.
He said: “We have to remember we are still top of the league with everything in our own hands.
“The same mindset, same mentality to make sure we win the next one.
“We started well then stopped, allowed them to play on their qualities.
“We gave them the game they wanted, we gave them hope and that’s on us. We have to look forward now.”
