Tim Sherwood has said that Arsenal attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard was “outstanding” against Southampton at the Emirates Stadium in North London in the Premier League on Friday evening.

The former Tottenham Hotspur manager said on Sky Sports News (12:10pm, April 22, 2023) that Odegaard has been outstanding for Arsenal so far this season.

And the pundit has added that the former Real Madrid playmaker was brilliant against the Saints as well.

Arsenal played out a 3-3 draw with Southampton at home last night.

Odegaard scored one of the goals for the Gunners.

The Norwegian was also playing a big role in the final minutes of the game, as Arsenal were desperately trying to get a winner.

HITC Verdict: Big player in title run-in

In our view, Martin Odegaard will be a key figure for Arsenal in the final weeks of the season.

The Gunners are aiming to beat defending champions Manchester City to the Premier League title this season.

For the North London club to fulfil that quest, Odegaard will have to stay on top of his game.

The Madrid playmaker is a very creative player, and we believe that his ability on the ball and leadership skills will be massive for Arsenal.
