Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, has praised Martin Odegaard for his recent performances and believes that the Norwegian midfielder is currently in excellent form. Odegaard contributed a goal and an assist in Arsenal’s 5-0 victory over Burnley, with his goal coming from a delightful finish from the edge of the box. Arteta commended Odegaard’s confidence and physicality, highlighting his defensive and attacking contributions, as well as his movement on the right-hand side of the pitch. 

The Arsenal captain’s recent displays have been lauded not only by Arteta but also by his teammate Bukayo Saka, who described them as “magical.” Odegaard has been instrumental in Arsenal’s recent success, having provided three assists and scored one goal in his last two league appearances. 

With Odegaard hitting top form, Arsenal finds themselves in contention for the Premier League title, sitting just two points behind league leaders Liverpool and surpassing Manchester City in the table.

Martin Odegaard’s influence and stellar performances for Arsenal were once again on display during their match against Burnley. Odegaard, who was named the man of the match in their previous visit to Turf Moor, showcased his skills and played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s victory. His impact was particularly evident in their recent run of wins, where he scored a crucial free-kιck goal against Norwich City and opened the scoring against Burnley with a stunning finish from outside the box.

 Odegaard’s ability to contribute both goals and assists was evident as he provided a defense-splitting pass to set up Bukayo Saka for a goal and delivered a lobbed volley pass to assist Jakub Kiwior’s goal. His performances have been instrumental in Arsenal’s success, and he has emerged as one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League. With Arsenal’s current form and Odegaard’s influential displays, there is renewed hope that they can compete for the Premier League title after two decades.
