The Arsenal boss made the comments about the Norway international attacking midfielder following the match against Norwich City.

Arsenal won the game 5-0.

Flourishing at Arsenal

In our opinion, Odegaard has established himself as an important player for Arsenal and is now one of the first names on the teamsheet.

The 23-year-old is starting to become Arsenal’s creator-in-chief.

What is very encouraging about the youngster is that he is starting to score goals and add assists to his game.

We know that the Norway international is a very skilful footballer who is very good on the ball.

However, number 10s need to have end product and also give assist.

Odegaard is starting to do just that.

Arsenal are a better team with Odegaard in it.

And for the Gunners to finish in the Premier League top four this season, the Norwegian will have to play consistently well.
