Arsenal captain Odegaard leaning on Xhaka, Gabriel Jesus

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard turned to Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Jesus to help him settle into the role.

The Norway youngster may only be 23, but he is already a leader on and off the pitch.

When Odegaard was given the role of club captain, he turned to two of his most trusted teammates to help him with the challenges that lay ahead.

Per the Daily Mail, Odegaard has “henchmen" by his side in Xhaka and Jesus.

Xhaka is vocal and does not have any problems laying into teammates if they are not maintaining standards.

While Jesus is not as vocal, he can lead by example, given the trophies he won at Manchester City before arriving at Arsenal.
