Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has heaped praise on teammate Martin Odegaard amid suggestions he could be a future captain for the Gunners. It comes after the Norwegian international has begun to find some form, settling in since his permanent transfer last summer.
His leadership skills in particular have come to the fore, already captaining his nation at just 23-years-old. It is something that has come in for praise from both the Norway manager, Stale Solbakken, and Mikel Arteta.
In a recent interview with outlet VG, Solbakken discussed his talks with Arteta and his thoughts on Odegaard: “Arteta has a bit of the same view as I have of Martin: He is a player that you want in the last third, one who should deliver both goals and assists.” And when asked whether he should be the Gunners captain too, the manager said: “Yes! I think so. But it's not up to me, and I did not talk to Arteta about this."
