Yannick Bolasie has said on Twitter that Arsenal attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard needs to shoot more often.

The former Everton and Crystal Palace winger made the comment while watching Odegaard in action for Arsenal against Manchester United away from home at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s side lost the match 3-1.

Bolasie believes that former Real Madrid playmaker is a “magician”, but he thinks that the 23-year-old needs to shoot on goal more often than always trying to find the perfect pass all the time.

Need more goals

In our opinion, Martin Odegaard could do with adding more goals to his game for Arsenal.

We know that the attacking midfielder is a very creative player and has been superb for the Gunners so far in his career.

The Norway international playmaker has created eight big chances in 56 appearances in the Premier League.

Odegaard has scored 11 goals in those matches.

Odegaard is a very classy and silky player who is brilliant at pre-assists, but the youngster does need to score more goals and should not be scared to shoot on goal if he finds himself in a good position.
