Martin Odegaard has explained the decision to make Oleksandr Zinchenko Arsenal captain during Saturday's Premier League clash against Leicester City.
The Gunners secured all three points at the King Power Stadium thanks to a second-half Gabriel Martinelli finish, maintaining their two-point advantage over Manchester City at the top of the league table. Mikel Arteta's side lined up with a different skipper, with Odegaard handing the armband to Zinchenko as the club explained that the decision was in respect to mark one-year since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
“I spoke to some people in the club yesterday and then I went to Mikel and suggested it for him,” Odegaard said when asked about giving the armband to the former Manchester City full-back. “It was a nice thing to do to show him the support.
