Former Tottenham Hotspur hero Garth Crooks has claimed that Martin Odegaard is the only Arsenal player he trusts for their Premier League title run-in.
The north Londoners have faltered in recent weeks, drawing their last three league fixtures and conceding seven goals in the process. Mikel Arteta's side most recently played out a thrilling 3-3 stalemate against 20th-placed Southampton at the Emirates Stadium on Friday evening, a match that they had trailed 3-1 until goals from Odegaard and Bukayo Saka in the 88th-minute and 90th-minute respectively salvaged a point for the hosts.
After naming the Norway captain in his Premier League team of the week, Crooks told the BBC : “It’s just as well Arsenal have Martin Odegaard in their ranks. The Norway international possesses great leadership skills and a cool head to match.
