Arsenal legends Martin Keown and Tony Adams go head-to-head: One thinks Martin Odegaard has helped Gunners match the Arsene Wenger era of creative flair, while the other insists Mikel Arteta should have signed 'strong defenders' instead... so, who's right

Martin Keown and Tony Adams were united on the pitch as tough-tackling, top-class central defenders, but the duo are now separated by very contrasting views on the current Arsenal side.

Sportsmail columnist Keown believes creative flair has been restored at the north London club to the levels achieved under Arsene Wenger, thanks to the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Dani Ceballos.

The former defender said that neither Unai Emery nor Arteta - up until this point - have had the luxury of so many technical players capable of interchanging and providing reliable service to the strikers.
