Martin Odegaard is like a fish in water at Arsenal. At 24, the Norwegian attacking midfielder has established himself with the Gunners to the point of becoming captain. Having become indispensable, the former Real Madrid player extended his contract this Friday until 2028. “At Arsenal, since the first day, I felt good and it’s really my home now. I would like to say thank you to everyone who works at the clubs and our wonderful supporters. I will continue to give everything to ensure that this club succeeds in the years to come,” rejoiced number 10 in a press release on the club website.
The news inevitably delights his manager, Mikel Arteta: “Him signing a new long-term contract with us is good news for those connected to Arsenal. He is our captain and someone very respected in our club, a role model and a professional, who brings quality and maturity to everything he does. Very good this week in the Champions League during Arsenal’s big victory against PSV (4-0), Odegaard will be eagerly awaited again this Sunday (3 p.m.) at the Emirates Stadium, for the reception of the sworn enemy Tottenham in the Premier League.
