Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has revealed the one thing that surprised him the most about Mikel Arteta. The Norwegian playmaker has enjoyed his best season in the Premier League since arriving at the Emirates Stadium from Real Madrid and has put it down to the Gunners boss.
Odegaard's form this season has led to him being compared to Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne. The Arsenal captain has scored 10 goals and provided a further seven assists as he aims to help the Gunners lift their first Premier League title since 2004 this season.
Whilst the 24-year-old was disappointed to be knocked out of the Europa League earlier this month, Odegaard admitted it could benefit the north Londoners' Premier League title challenge. The Norway international was signed on a permanent deal in 2021 after impressing during his six-month loan spell at the Emirates Stadium from Madrid, and has now become a key player for Arteta.
