Martin Odegaard has called upon Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Jesus to help him settle into the role of Arsenal captain - and it's working wonders.
The Norwegian midfielder was handed the armband by manager Mikel Arteta at the beginning of what's proven to be a stellar season so far for the Gunners, despite being just 23 years old at the time and only signing permanently for the club 12 months prior. But Odegaard's maturity has helped Arsenal soar to the top of the Premier League table, along with the help of two team-mates.
Similarly to how reigning champions Manchester City 's dressing room operates, Arteta likes to have a leadership group who can support the captain. With forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette leaving the club in 2022 after previously being relied on for their experience, former captain Xhaka and £45m summer signing Jesus stepped up to fill void.
