Give me the Arsenal captaincy armband, says Odegaard
By Adeleye Kunle
Martin Odegaard, an Arsenal playmaker, has told Mikel Arteta that he is ready to take over the captaincy ahead of the 2022/2023 season.
Odegaard revealed this in an interview with TribalFootball after an impressive performance for the Gunners in a 4-0 thrashing of Chelsea in a preseason friendly.
Following the departures of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last season, Odegaard is one of the favorites to take the armband.
The 23-year-old is already captain of his country and has stated that he would be willing to step up.
“It’s not something I consider. I think about the future and how to make it the best it can be, so we’ll see what happens.
“I’ve always enjoyed being in charge. “I’m a captain for my country (Norway), and it’s a fun experience,” Odegaard said.
“I don’t know anything about the situation here; I believe that question belongs to Mikel (Arteta) and the club, but if he asked, I would gladly do it.”
