Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit disagrees with Jamie Redknapp's claim that Martin Odegaard is better than Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne this season. The Norwegian playmaker picked up the Player of the Year honour at the London Football Awards earlier this month following a brilliant campaign so far with the Gunners.
Odegaard was named as club captain at the start of this season as he aims to lift Arsenal's first Premier League title since 2004 at the end of this season. The 24-year-old playmaker has scored 10 goals and provided a further seven assists in 35 appearances so far this term as he continue to develop into one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
Following the 3-0 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage, Redknapp labelled Odegaard as the best creative midfielder in the Premier League, surpassing De Bruyne at City. The Belgian midfielder has been widely regarded as the best midfielder in the English top-flight for a number of years, but Arsenal's captain has arguably been the more influential player this term.
