“I’ll really love to play for Arsenal one because of him”: Manchester City striker amazed by ONE Arsenal’s player, want to join Arsenal because that particular player
Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard was in his element last night when Norway took on Israel in the World Cup qualifiers, assisting thrice to help his country to a 4-2 victory away from home, and his performance left his teammate and Manchester City star Erling Braut Haaland impressed.
The striker took to social media platform Instagram to react thus after the game, showing how thrilled he was after the Gunners star blew him away.
Odegaard helped Norway pick up crucial three points in their bid to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, and he will now hope to take that form back with him to Arsenal after the international break.
The North Londoners face Fulham and Everton in their next two Premier League fixtures before hosting Real Madrid in the first-leg of the Champions League quarter-final on April 8, and they need their captain to be at the top of his form in those games and subsequent ones given that each one of them could define the remainder of their campaign.
Arsenal are 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool ahead of the last nine games of 2024-25, and they need to win all the remaining games and hope the Reds drop enough points to have any chance of winning the title.
They need a good result at home against Madrid if they want to be playing in the semi-finals of the elite European competition, and Odegaard and his teammates cannot afford any mediocre performances if they want to finish the season well.
The 26-year-old has two goals and four assists in 21 league games and three goals and one assist in seven Champions League appearances so far this term, and this is the best time for him to step up his game as Arsenal could do with a major trophy this season after years of drought.
