Clinton Morrison has raved about Arsenal attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard on BBC Sport for his performance against Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium.
The former Crystal Palace forward believes that Odegaard is outstanding, and was impressed by how the Arsenal star was picking out his teammates against Leicester in the Premier League game on Sunday.
The BBC pundit made the comments about the former Real Madrid player on the half-hour mark.
Arsenal won 2-0.
Morrison said about Odegaard: “Martin Odegaard is really growing into this game. He sees passes not a lot of people see. Outstanding.”
Martin Odegaard was class for Arsenal v Leicester
In our view, Odegaard was superb for Arsenal in their win against Leicester and was arguably the best player for Mikel Arteta’s side.
The Norwegian played six key passes, had a pass accuracy of 80.4%, won one header, took 68 touches, attempted one dribble, made three tackles and one interception.
Arsenal have enhanced their chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table with the win against Leicester.
Odegaard is growing and developing as a player at Arsenal, who are a better team with the attacker in it.
For Arsenal to end up in the Champions League places, in our opinion, Odegaard will have to be on top of his game in the final weeks of the season.
