Odegaard tipped for Arsenal captaincy: Solbakken and Arteta showed their faith in him

Former Stabaek captain Yaw Amankwah can see Martin Odegaard taking the armband at Arsenal.

The Norway skipper is tipped for the Arsenal captaincy next season.

Amankwah, working for TV2, said: "He and Saka are by far the most important players for Arsenal offensively.

"When football-wise heads like Ståle Solbakken and Mikel Arteta have given him that responsibility, there is no reason to doubt that he is a natural leader. He has also gained experience from the national team in the role.

"The way he has performed in the matches as captain of Arsenal has been very impressive."
