Arsenal are seeing the best of Martin Odegaard this season after he signed permanently from Real Madrid in 2021. The Norwegian playmaker was handed the club captaincy at the start of the 2022/23 campaign and has led the Gunners to the top of the Premier League table.
Odegaard has scored seven goals and provided a further five assists in 21 appearances so far this term, the same number of goals and assists he managed in 40 games last season. The 24-year-old's improvement has highlighted Mikel Arteta's ability to develop young talents into better players in a short period of time.
Joao Felix has struggled to meet expectations since completing a £110million transfer to Atletico Madrid back in 2019. The Portuguese forward looks increasingly likely to leave the Spanish outfit in January after his relationship with Diego Simeone has worsened in recent months.
