Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has statistically been the best presser in Europe's top five leagues this season.
As per Whoscored, the Norwegian international has won his side possession in the attacking third 40 times in the Premier League this season, at least nine times more than any other player across Europe's most prestigious leagues. That kind of defensive work rate, paired with his impressive contributions when he has the ball has helped the Gunners become this season's favourites to win the league title.
In fact, Mikel Arteta's men currently sit eight points clear of second-placed Manchester, although the Citizens do have a game in hand on their rivals. Arteta has also been boosted by the recent return of marquee summer signing Gabriel Jesus, who was sidelined for over three months due to a knee injury sustained during Brazil's World Cup campaign in Qatar.
