Martin Odegaard revealed ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash against Manchester City that he had been in regular contact with his Norway teammate Erling Haaland. The Gunners captain is good friends with Haaland who is currently leading the way as the Premier League top scorer with 25 goals in 21 games.
Odegaard is enjoying a successful season of his own having already notched eight goals and provided a further six assists this season. The City striker was a doubt ahead of the clash against Arsenal after being withdrawn at half-time of the 3-1 win over Aston Villa at the weekend.
The 22-year-old took part in training on Tuesday afternoon after there were fears he may miss the match with a suspected thigh injury. Odegaard admitted he has been watching a lot of City's games this season with the Gunners hoping to keep their lead at the top of the table following tonight's match.
