Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is happy naming Martin Odegaard his captain.

Odegaard was given the armband ahead of yesterday's 6-0 victory over Sevilla.

Arteta said: "What I've seen over the past 18 months since he's been with us, he's represented the values of this football club, the team, the teammates and the staff in the best possible way.

"He's displayed an ambition to take this club to a different level, to push this team and contribute within it, and as well the way he is respected by everyone inside the organisation.

"He's also the captain of his national team and I think it was the right call, and I'm proud to announce that because I think he's a really good person to deliver that commitment to the club."
