The Sweden striker has joined the Gunners from Sporting CP to big fanfare and expectations.
Gyokeres is in line to see action against Tottenham tonight in Singapore and Odegaard commented in his media preview: "I think you've all seen what he's done in his career so far.
"Especially the last season at Sporting, the numbers speak for themselves. He's a very complete player. He's physical, strong, fast, good finisher, and intelligent as well. I think he's a very complete striker and you can also see the hunger, the energy he brings. I'm really excited to have him with the team.
"He's only trained a few times, but you can already see the quality, the energy, and the willingness. I'm excited to have a pitch with him."
On helping Gyokeres settle in, Odegaard also said: Yeah, obviously, with the language and everything, it's been easier for me to help him. We can speak our own language. Scandinavians, they always bond well together. So, in that way, it's been really natural. But to be fair, it's like with any player.
"Every new player, we try to help them in the best possible way. That's what I felt when I came here. I felt at home straight away. I felt how good the culture and environment was to get into. Everyone just wants to help you and get the best out of you. Then it's important also how you do things off the pitch. That's what we all do. So we're just here to help. So far, he's having a good time, I think."
