Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Martin Odegaard being named the Norway captain today.
Norway head coach Stale Solbakken has said today that Odegaard – on loan at Arsenal from Real Madrid at the moment – is the new captain of the national football team, as quoted in VG.
Solbakken has said that the 22-year-old attacking midfielder was “super ready” for his role.
Some Arsenal fans have given their take on the news that Odegaard will be the new captain of Norway.
Below are some of the best comments on Twitter:
Maturity
Odegaard is only 22 years of now, and him becoming the captain of Norway underlines his maturity.
In interviews, the youngster comes across as a sensible young player who keeps his feet on the ground, and him becoming the leader of his national team shows just how good he is and how much confidence he has of his manager and teammates.
Arsenal fans have seen glimpses of the talent of the youngster, and they will hope that his new role for Norway and his wonder-goal in the Europa League on Thursday evening will help him elevate his game.
