Former Tottenham Hotspur star Gary Stevens has claimed that Martin Odegaard lacks the desire to become a truly top-class player.
Odegaard signed for Arsenal on loan from Real Madrid in January but has yet to make much of an impact with the club.
He has failed to register a goal or an assist in eight appearances in all competitions since joining the Gunners.
In an interview with Stadium Astro, Stevens questioned whether the Norwegian playmaker has the appetite needed to perform in the biggest leagues.
“When he was 16, just about every club in the world of football wanted him,” said Stevens.
