Takehiro Tomiyasu praises Arsenal teammate Martin Odegaard
Well, Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu has been raving about his teammate Martin Odegaard.

Tomiyasu, who can play as a centre-back or as a full-back, has said that attacking midfielder Odegaard is very intelligent.

The Japan international has also noted that the former Real Madrid playmaker is very professional, not only on the pitch but off it as well.

“He’s also professional off the pitch. I like him a lot and he deserves to be captain and we love him.”

Martin Odegaard is an Arsenal success story
In my view, Martin Odegaard is a massive success story at Arsenal. Under manager Mikel Arteta, the playmaker has taken his game to another level. He is a leader now.

Odegaard failed to make a huge impact at Real Madrid. Not many players struggle at Madrid and then go on to have a successful career.

The Norway international attacking midfielder is doing well for Arsenal now and is one of the best playmakers in the Premier League. I believe that for the Gunners to win the title this season, Odegaard has to be on top of his game throughout the campaign.

Odegaard is 24 now. I do not think that he is world class yet, but I believe that he certainly has the potential to become so in the next two or three years.
