Gary Lineker admits he remains "baffled" by “strange” Martin Odegaard decision

Martin Odegaard’s fantastic performance in Arsenal’s win over Fulham on Saturday evening prompted Gary Lineker to question Real Madrid ’s decision to sell the Norway star.

Odegaard helped to instigate the Gunners’ comeback from a goal behind to secure a 2-1 victory which ensured they maintained their perfect start to the season and stayed top of the Premier League table. The Arsenal captain scored a deflected effort eight minutes after Aleksandar Mitrovic fired Fulham into the lead before Gabriel Magalhaes grabbed the winner from a corner.

Odegaard’s goal came after he netted twice in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth last weekend. The 23-year-old is one of the Premier League’s form players and is already justifying Arsenal’s decision to pay Real Madrid £30million plus £4m in add-ons last summer following a successful loan spell.
