Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal got the better of David Moyes’s West Ham 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Monday evening.

One of those was for English striker Nketiah’s goal in the 69th minute.

Big player for the Gunners

In our opinion, Martin Odegaard is one of the best attacking midfielders around and is a key figure for Arsenal.

The former Real Madrid playmaker has progressed a lot under Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, and he is only 24.

Odegaard is a very classy player who is brilliant in possession of the ball and creates chances after chances.

The Norwegian has scored six goals and given four assists in 14 Premier League matches for Arsenal so far this season.

Things did not work out for Odegaard at Real Madrid, but he is flourishing at Arsenal.

The Gunners are aiming to win the Premier League title this season and are also in the knockout rounds of the UEFA Europa League.

For Arsenal to be successful in their quest, in our opinion, Odegaard will have to be on top of his game throughout.
