Martin Odegaard has had an exceptional first full season with Arsenal, where he has exceeded the fans’ expectations. His impressive performances have been epitomised by his creativity that has shown the same results as Mesut Ozil.
Odegaard has been one of the first name’s on the teamsheet for Mikel Arteta this season, which was proven by the Spaniard's decision to allocate him the captain's armband towards the end of the campaign. This further proves his importance to the team.
Without the Norwegian in the midfield, Arsenal’s attacking phase of play would lack the fluidity which was proven at the start of the season when he was not in the team. The £35m transfer fee that the Gunners paid for him in the summer transfer window has shown to be a bargain.
