Image Description
Arsenal is currently leading the Premier League and the dream of the title is bigger than before, one of the reasons for this is the midfield talent Martin Odegaard.

This season, Martin Odegaard has taken the very big step in his development, he has now become one of the profiles in the Premier League and perhaps the best playing midfielder right now.

Odegaard has been a long time coming after his record transfer in 2015, he became Norway's most expensive teenager and expectations were high.
Odegaard has been on several loan spells with mixed success and the breakthrough at Real Madrid never happened. 

Odegaard has taken a step in the right direction in his Arsenal career after each season and this season he is perhaps Arsenal's most important player and his current form makes him perhaps the Premier League's best midfield right now.
He has developed enormously under Mikel Arteta, where he has been given more responsibility and the freedom to participate in the offensive game. With Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey behind him, he can move freely on the pitch and working with Martinelli and Saka has been a joy to watch for any football lover.

We've been looking at his stats since the Vitesse days where he really got his professional career going.
