The Gunners’ Spanish technical director was very happy with the Norwegian footballer’s addition on loan.
Although he arrived on loan condition in January and only played four games in Arsenal, Martin Odegaard made a big impression on Mikel Arteta, who assured that the Norwegian footballer can be a leader of the Gunners.
At a press conference, the Spanish technical director commented on the matter: “On the field he is showing a lot of character and intelligence, ingredients that any leader should have. He has been here for a very short time, but he adapted very quickly.”
He continued: “He is gaining more and more respect from the players and the staff. I think his weight in the team will increase week after week. We have him for a few months. We have to make the most of this time with him to bring all his qualities to the team “.
It is a loan, yes, but Arteta does not give up in the fight to continue having Odegaard on his team. “At the end of the season we will see together if we can carry forward this relationship. But for the moment that does not only depend on us,” closed the coach.
