Odegaard has been a standout performer for Arsenal since making the permanent switch to the Emirates during the January transfer window, netting five goals and providing three assists in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta has also become a huge admirer of the 23-year-old, playing him in each game since his return.
Mikel Arteta said: “He was terrific again today, in every aspect of the game. What he had to do in defending, when we were high and deep; in build-up phases; in the final third, the way he understood and managed the game when he was needed. He’s come a long way since his arrival, he is showing great maturity and responsibility on the pitch and he makes the other players better, I think.”
