Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Michael Dawson has said on Sky Sports News (1:43pm, October 8, 2022) that he was wrong about Arsenal attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard.
Dawson has said that he did not think that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta made a good decision in making Odegaard the club captain at the start of the season.
The Sky Sports pundit has said that he has been impressed by how the Norway international playmaker has done as the Arsenal captain.

Dawson said about Odegaard: “I was one who questioned him to give him the armband. He captains Norway. He knows his way in the dressing room. He plays like he has (a vocal voice).”
Leader
In our view, Arsenal playmaker Martin Odegaard is a leader on the pitch.
Yes, the former Real Madrid player does not shout at his teammates or makes a lot of fuss when decisions go against his side.
However, the 23-year-old leads by example.
He does his talking on the pitch.
Odegaard is the Norway captain, and that show how mature he is.
The Arsenal star works hard for the team and does not shy away from doing his job, whether things are going for him or not.
Odegaard has scored three goals in seven Premier League matches for Arsenal so far this season.
The 23-year-old playmaker scored seven goals and provided four assists in 32 league starts for the Gunners last season.
