No midfielder has more goals than Martin Odegaard in the Premier League this season. If you had have been told that would happen when he first signed for Arsenal in 2021, you could have been forgiven for having your doubts.
Everyone was aware of the Norwegian after he burst onto the scene at the age of 15, but his reputation was as a mercurial creator, rather than a final third killer. During his initial loan period in north London he had only managed two goals in 20 appearances, and despite hitting double figures in a spell with Vitesse, questions remained over his end product at the highest level.
This season though, he has more than silenced those doubters and found another gear with 15 goals. That is no coincidence as far as Arsenal are concerned.
