Ian Wright has raved about Arsenal attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard on Premier League Productions.
The Arsenal legend was impressed by Odegaard’s performance for the Gunners against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
The 24-year-old Norway international attacking midfielder scored a goal and provided an assist for Arsenal in their win against the Seagulls away from home.
Odegaard also created a very good chance for his Arsenal teammate and Brazil international forward Gabriel Martinelli in the first half.

Wright said about Odegaard: “He has been fantastic all season, Martin Odegaard, and he is actually getting better as the season going and as the games get more and more pressurised.”
The pundit added: “He is doing everything. He is scoring, he is linking, he is assisting. He is doing everything at the moment.”
Impressive
In our opinion, Martin Odegaard is one of the best players at Arsenal and is one of the most creative players in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old has progressed a lot under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
The former Real Madrid player is a leader on the pitch and is the perfect captain for this young and dynamic Arsenal team.
Odegaard has scored seven goals and given five assists in 15 Premier League appearances for Arsenal so far this season.
Arsenal are seven points clear of second-placed and defending champions Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table at the moment.
In our view, for the Gunners to win the title this season, Odegaard will have to be on top of his game throughout.
