Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard announces birth of his first child with ballroom dancer wife Helene Spilling ahead of clash with Fulham

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard and his wife Helene Spilling have announced the birth of their first child.

In August, the lovebirds posted a black-and-white photo by the sea as they cradled her baby bump, writing: '1+1 = 3. Can't wait to meet you, our little baby.'

The couple again took to social media to announce the arrival of the baby as they posted a photo of them holding the newborn's hand.

'We love you so much, our little baby boy.' the pair wrote on Instagram.

The birth of the child came on Sunday, a day after Arsenal's thrilling 5-2 win over West Ham at the London Stadium.
