Arsenal great Paul Merson claims Martin Odegaard has proved him wrong and is now one of the best players in the Premier League.
Merson, who won five major honours with the Gunners in a glittering playing career, wasn't sure about the Norway star at first. But he believes Odegaard is becoming a leader at the Emirates - and could help them qualify for the Champions League.
Writing in his Daily Star column, Merson said: "Martin Odegaard has proved me wrong and is becoming the leader Arsenal need to pass their toughest test yet. "He is the main man there now and the first name on the teamsheet for me. He has really improved and is doing the business.
