Former Arsenal ace Emmanuel Petit is unimpressed with captain Martin Odegaard.

The Norway international has not been at his very best so far this season for the Gunners.

While he was an instrumental figure for the team last season, Odegaard's creativity has declined this season.

Speaking on the talkSPORT Breakfast show, Petit stated: "Odegaard recently looks sloppy on the pitch with no creativity and he looks tired as well physically.

"Probably the fact that we're playing top, top games every three days has an impact and the fact there's not a big rotation in the first XI with [Mikel] Arteta that could be a problem as well. I remember when it gets to that stage of the season especially the last few weeks of the season when important players get injured.

"Odegaard, when he plays well, most of the time Arsenal win the game. The last couple of games he was not the same player on the pitch. That has an impact on Arsenal's competitiveness."
