It may not be a shock to learn of the great appreciation I and so many other Arsenal supporters have for the wondrous season Martin Odegaard is having.
It was hard not to melt with delight when his interplay with Bukayo Saka led to the Norwegian opening the scoring for Arsenal against Watford. The backheeled pass to the England international was a glorious example of the technical ability Odegaard has brought back to the club.
Combine that with the vibrant performance of Saka and Arsenal’s right-hand side looks as strong as it has ever been. Saka, Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe were challenged to add more goals and assists to their game and they have responded, the latter the Gunners’ current top scorer.
