Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has highlighted a key difference between himself and summer signing Fabio Vieira following the Europa League win against Bodo/Glimt.
Vieira joined the Gunners from Porto in a £34million deal during the summer transfer window but has only recently been able to show his quality after struggling with a foot injury during pre-season. The Portuguese playmaker has mainly had to settle for cameos as a substitute or appearances in the Europa League as he looks to force his way into Mikel Arteta's team.
Odegaard is enjoying a strong season so far which could be put down to the added competition provided by the 22-year-old, with the Norwegian playmaker having registered four goal contributions in 11 appearances, whilst Vieira has registered three goal contributions in four fewer games. Arteta played both playmakers in the team that beat Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night, when many thought due to their similarities that one would need to be sacrificed in the team in place of the other.
