Arsenal icon hails Martin Odegaard's performance vs Fulham amid Mikel Arteta captaincy decision

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has been hailed by club legend Ian Wright for 'leading by example' during the win against Fulham.

Odegaard has scored three goals in his last two appearances for the Gunners and is beginning to find some impressive form for Mikel Arteta's side. The Norwegian playmaker has formed a good partnership with summer signing Gabriel Jesus, with the duo currently contributing the most goals and assists at the club.

Gary Lineker questioned Real Madrid's 'strange' decision to let Odegaard leave the Santiago Bernabeu last summer, a move that has ultimately led to the 23-year-old being handed the club captaincy role by Arteta. Odegaard will be hoping to continue his fine form throughout the season and lead the Gunners to a top-four finish, a feat that narrowly missed out on last term at the hands of north London rivals Tottenham.
