Arsenal Invincible Lauren says the current team can win the Premier League this season.

Lauren also says Martin Odegaard's leadership will be crucial in their title push.

"There have been a lot of good Arsenal teams (since the Invincibles) but (Mikel) Arteta's team is the one with most chance of winning the Premier League," he told the Daily Mail. "We were close last year and this year I think we can do it.

"It's so important to be able to control situations on an emotional level. There are teams that know how to do it. You score a goal against Real Madrid or Barcelona and they come back at you because they know how to control those situations.

"You need a captain who knows how to handle that type of situation and what is striking about Martin Odegaard is not just that he can do it, but that he's only 24. Arteta wouldn't give the armband to just any one.

"He gives it to him because he transmits what Arteta would be transmitting were he on the pitch."
