Arsenal midfielder Elneny: We're proud of Odegaard; I want him to stay

Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny admits Martin Odegaard has made a big impact since his January arrival.

Odegaard joined Arsenal in January on-loan from Real Madrid to the end of the season.

Elneny told VG: "I'm proud of him for being captain of his country (Norway). It is something very glorious. I know that, because I myself have been captain of Egypt, and it is the best feeling there is to be captain of his country.

"He is very humble, but not only that. You can constantly see him talking tactics with other players. He has the personality to be a captain. I hope he stays at Arsenal. He has been very good since he came here."
