“He has really taken his game to the next level. He’s a very intelligent guy and of all the Arsenal players, he’s the one I admire the most”- EX Real Madrid and German Veteran midfielder Toni Kroos was full of praises for Arsenal’s diamond footballer who will likely go down as a big legend for the club just like Thierry Henry and Ian Wright
Toni Kroos Praises Arsenal’s Leader as His Favorite Gunner
In a recent interview, Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos spoke highly of Arsenal’s young star Martin Odegaard, calling him his favorite player from the North London club.
“Of all the Arsenal players, Martin Odegaard is the one I admire the most,” Kroos said. “He’s such a talented and intelligent player who has really come into his own over the past year or so.”
Kroos and Odegaard previously played together at Real Madrid, where the Norwegian spent a successful loan spell in 2020-21 before making a permanent move to Arsenal the following summer.
“Even from a young age, you could see the quality that Martin possessed,” Kroos continued. “The way he sees the game, his technical ability, and his calmness on the ball are all so impressive.”
The German international went on to praise Odegaard’s development since joining Arsenal, where he has blossomed into one of the Premier League’s most promising young playmakers.
“At Arsenal, Martin has really taken his game to the next level. He’s become the focal point of their attack and is driving them forward with his creativity and vision,” Kroos said.
“It’s been great to see him flourish and I’m not surprised at all by the success he’s having. He’s a special player and I’m sure he’ll continue to get better and better.”
Kroos’ glowing assessment of Odegaard’s talents will surely be music to the ears of Arsenal fans, who have watched the 24-year-old become an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s side.
With Odegaard’s star continuing to rise, it will be exciting to see how he and Arsenal fare in the seasons ahead after going trophyless again in what is regarded to be an excellent season. If he can maintain this level of performance, there’s no doubt he’ll be cementing his status as one of the Premier League’s top midfielders.
