Why Martin Odegaard has surpassed Kevin De Bruyne as Arsenal hold Premier League title advantage

Jamie Redknapp believes that Martin Odegaard has now surpassed Kevin De Bruyne as the best creative midfielder in the Premier League. The 24-year-old put in another impressive performance at the weekend as Arsenal waltzed away from Craven Cottage 3-0 victors.

Odegaard netted the Gunners' third of the afternoon against Fulham, taking his goal tally to double figures in the league for the first time in his career. He has also provided a further seven assists in this term, further proving his worth to Arsenal's title charge.

In one less game, De Bruyne has managed just as many goals contributions in the Premier League this season as the Norway international. But, despite the Manchester City star's efforts, Redknapp is insistent that Odegaard has overtaken the Belgian now.
