Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has opened up about his significant growth since joining the Gunners, highlighting his development both on and off the pitch. The Norwegian midfielder, who led Arsenal to a second-place finish in the Premier League last season, credits his time at the Emirates for propelling him to new heights.

“Yeah, I think I’ve improved a lot as a player, as a leader, as a person,” Odegaard told the media. “I’ve been growing up even more and more and getting older, more experience, and I feel like I’m growing more and more into the role, and I’m enjoying it. It’s a massive honor, and I’m really proud of this fantastic club. I really, really enjoy it, and I think I’m taking the right steps as a leader, and just trying to get better.”

Odegaard’s leadership qualities have been evident throughout his time at Arsenal, culminating in his appointment as captain last season. The 25-year-old has consistently delivered impressive performances on the pitch, contributing significantly to the club’s resurgence. His 8 goals and 10 assists last season demonstrated his crucial role in Arsenal’s attacking prowess.

Odegaard’s words reflect his commitment to the club and his desire to continue to grow as a player and a leader. As Arsenal look to build on their impressive form, Odegaard is poised to play a pivotal role in their quest for Premier League glory.
