Martin Odegaard discusses his new role as Arsenal captain

Martin Odegaard on being the new Arsenal captain.

The Norwegian playmaker has taken the Arsenal armband and took over the role from Alexandre Lacazette who has rejoined Lyon this summer.

There has been a curse at Arsenal where majority of the players have left the club within three years of being handed the armband.

“I don’t feel any special pressure with it,” Odegaard told the Evening Standard on Friday.

“Obviously there’s a little bit more responsibility, but I think I will do a lot of the same things.

“I always try to do my best for the team. I’m not going to change too much just because it’s a permanent thing now.

“I will do the same things and obviously when he [Mikel Arteta] wants me to be the captain I’ve done something right so keep going in that direction, maybe learn and grow a bit with time.

“But I have to do it my way and that’s what I will try to do. I enjoy the responsibility and hopefully I can do it in a good way.”
