Arsenal confirmed Martin Odegaard as the club's new captain ahead of the 2022/23 season as the Gunners lifted the Emirates Cup following a 6-0 win over Sevilla.
Odegaard already captains his country at international level and now the 23-year-old will assume the same role for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta opted for Odegaard as the club's new captain after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was stripped of the armband last year before moving to Barcelona in January.
Arsenal's new £45million striker Gabriel Jesus put on a brilliant show as the Brazilian bagged a hat-trick, with Bukayo Saka scoring twice and Eddie Nketiah adding a sixth goal just minutes before the end of the game. Odegaard also caught the fans' eyes following the game with a kind gesture after lifting the Emirates Cup.
