Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been told that club captain Martin Odegaard is on track to becoming as good as Manchester City superstar Kevin De Bruyne.
The Gunners skipper has enjoyed a sensational season so far, already matching last season's goal tally and popping up with some remarkable assists such as his exquisite pass for Gabriel Martinelli's goal against Brighton on New Year's Eve. It was the kind of thing fans have seen De Bruyne do so often for City down the years.
Some were initially sceptical of Arsenal signing the Norwegian on a permanent basis from Real Madrid for just £31million after an impressive, but hardly world-beating loan spell in the latter half of the 2020/21 campaign.
