Martin Odegaard closing on Kevin De Bruyne record speaks volumes about Arsenal impact

Wherever the Premier League title ends up, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has enjoyed a sensational season and could be on course to secure one particularly impressive record.

The 24-year-old Norwegian has skippered the Gunners to their best league season for quite some time, though it seems as if they are still set to fall short in place of reigning champions Manchester City. That is hardly Odegaard's fault though, with the attacking midfielder more than playing his part for Mikel Arteta's men this season.

So much so in fact, Odegaard is one goal away from matching a Premier League record held by City star Kevin De Bruyne. Arsenal's mercurial talent needs to notch just once more to match the Belgian's feat of 15 non penalty goals in a single season, the most scored by a midfield player.
