Arsene Wenger absolutely waxing lyrical about Martin Odegaard to Norweigian television: "He makes decisions quickly, and always optimally. It is remarkable! I like him and the way he makes football look so easy."

Odegaard is lucky to join Arsenal and Arsenal is lucky to have him for the right time, what a match.

Wenger continued: “He is a very calm player who analyses the game well. I don’t really want to say exactly what I talked to Martin about. “I am super impressed. He really is a down-to-earth and nice boy. The way he analyses the game. He also did that as a 15-year-old… the sharpness! Wenger also admitted that he was “worried” about the midfielder during his time at Real Madrid. “I was worried about Martin,” Wenger continued. “I think he lost a bit of his creative attitude. Creativity stagnated. “After he came to Arsenal, he found his creativity back. “He plays amazingly well and masters everything in the game. He is complete. I like him in every way in the game. Defensive and offensive.” 🤗

Wenger always wanted to sign Odegaard; “That was hard. When he was 15, I talked to him. I actually spoke to Martin about it after the game now on Boxing Day,” Wenger told Norwegian outlet TV 2. “I was desperate to sign him. Fortunately, he is here now. He really is like a young Cesc Fabregas. I think he has developed into a complete player.

Martin Odegaard reminds me of a young Cesc at arsenal when he was captain leading the team his quality shines bright in this team

Actually. That was intentional. He even alluded to it on his interview after the game. That was the only way to get the ball to loop over the Defenders and dip into the game

People compare him to Ozil but I think he is more like Modric.. Picks passes,shoots,defends. He controls the ball and resets.

Odegaard is the best in his position atm

Could clearly tell a lot of people didn’t watch Odegaard when he was as Real Sociedad

Taught him everything he knows😎

He's been playing since he was like 15. 😄 So everyone underestimates how much game experience he has. He is a seasoned professional, despite his age.

He is by far the best midfielder in the world.

Robson only recently started noticing the guy, consistently been good since joining

mastermind

Eze and Olise from Palace has a similar style but Odegard is further atm. Well done🇧🇻

Why is so difficult to believe he ment tht shot coz if it was kvd thr won't be any questions

LET'S GOOO ARSENAL !! ❤️🤍

He asked a footballer to keep his feet on the ground 🙄

Odegaard is the real deal.

I don't think comparisons of Odegaard to Ozil or Fabregas are accurate, for me Cazorla is closest to what Odegaard reminds me of, if you take the whole package into account.

Madrid should have kept him and made him their RW of the future.

♥️🦋🔥

Odegaard is basically Ozil but has a much better attitude and work rate. Simple as that. Ozil could have been incredible but his attitude sucked.

Meanwhile, my team employs MASON MOUNT 🤮😪

Lee Gunner disagrees

Would you lot actually talk something else than Arsenal? My god it's jarring

Sadly in Madrid he wasnt so intelligent demanding things that he hasnt earned.His head was too big for him.

Madrid failure, now one of the best in the premier league. Hazard one of the best in the premier league now a real madrid failure. Shows how easy the premier league is.
