Odegaard claims Arsenal 'building something special with all players and staff'

Martin Odegaard believes there is something special building at Arsenal.

The Gunners are genuine contenders for a top-four spot this season as they sit within four points of fourth spot in the table with three games in hand.

"I feel like we're building something special here with all the players and the staff," Odegaard told the club's website.

"It's really interesting what we're trying to do and I'm happy with the situation, very happy to be part of the team and hopefully we can keep improving and get better each game. Then we'll see where it takes us.

"It helps me, to be around players in the same situation [in terms of age].

"I've been through a lot, even though I'm pretty young. In this team I'm not the youngest anymore and I have some experience and I can use that in a positive way, and help the other young players.

"We're a great group, we have a lot of big young talents but also some more experienced players, I think the mix is good and the team is very hungry. It's really nice to be part of the team."
