Odegaard billed as captain material at Arsenal as Elneny airs permanent transfer ‘wish’

Martin Odegaard is future captain material at Arsenal, says Mohamed Elneny, with a fellow midfielder at Emirates Stadium making no secret of his “wish” to see a permanent deal wrapped up for the Norwegian playmaker.

The Gunners took a talented 22-year-old on loan from Real Madrid during the winter transfer window.

Odegaard has made a positive impression at Emirates Stadium and is considered to boast the potential that could make him an on-field leader in north London if a long-term deal with the Blancos can be struck.
