Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has spoken highly of his Gunners teammate and captain Martin Odegaard on BBC Sport.
Saka has said that Arsenal and Norway international attacking midfielder Odegaard is amazing.
The England international, who tends to start on the right of a front-three for Arsenal, made the comments about the 24-year-old playmaker after the Gunners’ win against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League at the weekend.
The former Real Madrid player scored a goal and provided an assist.
BUKAYO SAKA ON ARSENAL TEAMMATE MARTIN ODEGAARD
Saka said about Odegaard: “Our captain [Martin Odegaard] is playing amazing. He does so much for the team. He is the orchestra of our team. He is a really efficient captain. He does a lot of talking on the pitch.”
CAPTAIN FANTASTIC
In our view, Martin Odegaard is a brilliant footballer who has progressed a lot under manager Mikel Arteta at Arsenal.
The former Real Madrid player is a leader in the middle of the park, and Saka saying that he talks a lot on the pitch shows how he helps out his teammate.
Odegaard does not always seem very vocal, but you do not have to scream and shout to be a leader.
Or dive into reckless challenges to be seen as the captain.
Odegaard is clearly an intelligent player who knows what to say and when to say to his Arsenal teammates.
It is really remarkable that someone who is only 24 is leading one of the biggest clubs in the world.
