Mikel Arteta raves about Martin Odegaard ahead of Olympiacos clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has spoken highly of Martin Odegaard ahead of the Europa League clash against Olympiacos tonight.

The Norwegian joined the Gunners on loan from Real Madrid in January after playing under 400 minutes of first-team football this term.

He initially took time to adapt to the club’s style of play, but has recently turned up with goals against Olympiacos and Tottenham Hotspur.

This has attracted plenty of attention and Arteta believes the attacker is ‘getting better and better’ and highlighted that his ‘work rate has been phenomenal’.
