Arsenal hero Martin Keown admits he was wrong about Martin Odegaard.

Odegaard produced his first assist for the season in victory at Leeds on Saturday.

"I will say that when he first came to the club, I wasn't the biggest of fans, but I have to change that opinion now because he really is developing," Keown said of Odegaard on Match of the Day.

"You see that clever movement that he has to receive the ball, he was first-class in that Arsenal midfield.

"He's growing in stature. His confidence is really high, the manager has backed him, Smith Rowe's been on the bench recently. He just seems to keep getting better and better.

"Controlling things now beautifully from an Arsenal [point of view]. Arsenal are really reliant upon him. For me he just seems to get better and better. He was at Real Madrid, it wasn't really happening for him, but Arteta has found the best for him at Arsenal."
