Emmanuel Petit has urged Arsenal supporters to not get carried away when likening Martin Odegaard to Kevin de Bruyne. The Gunners captain has played an integral role in his side's success as they target the Premier League title.
Odegaard, who sees his contract at the Emirates Stadium expire in 2025, has featured 25 times for Mikel Arteta's side this season, directly contributing to 14 goals from midfield. The 24-year-old's impressive displays have guided the north Londoners five points clear of second-placed Manchester City with a game in hand.
The Norway international has been one of the country's top performers this term and some fans have begun comparing him to de Bruyne. The Belgian has featured 226 times for the reigning champions in the Premier League, winning the competition four times over — Odegaard is yet to finish in a top-four position.
