New Martin Odegaard and Mason Mount roles as Arsenal star gets 21-goal Bayern Munich admiration

The promotion to captain has seen a new side to Martin Odegaard for Arsenal, with the 23-year-old showing everything demanded by Mikel Arteta in his young-looking side.

The Norway attacker was announced as the captain over the summer and has already taken the role on with great enthusiasm, and his form has matched his promotion. In the six matches so far this season, he has scored three goals, nearly half of last season's total already, and has shown some extremely unselfish play to help out his teammates in moves.

Arteta had already sounded out his new captain last season before the appointment was made, citing the experience for Norway as a reason why he would go on to be the leader for his club side. As a breakout star at a young age, Odegaard has used these experiences to become a role model for young players at the club and across Europe.
