Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has compared Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard to Spanish playmaker David Silva.
Odegaard initially joined the Gunners on loan for six months back in January 2021 before eventually signing on a permanent deal a few months later and he has never looked back since, establishing himself as one of the first names on Mikel Arteta's teamsheet. The 24-year-old, who is now the club's captain, has got even better this season, registering an impressive nine goals and six assists in the Premier League this term to help catapult his side to first in the league table with just 12 games to go.
Now, Richards has likened former City teammate Silva to the Norwegian international whilst also using an analogy of the game Football Manager in the process. "I love Odegaard's journey and the way he has put his career back on track", he wrote for BBC Sport.
