Martin Odegaard compared to Arsenal icon as captain tipped to shine against Chelsea

Martin Odegaard could be transformative for Arsenal once he returns to Mikel Arteta’s starting lineup, according to Ray Parlour.

 

Odegaard came off the bench for Arsenal during the 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan on Wednesday as he nears full fitness. The attacking midfielder had been out of action since spraining his ankle while on international duty with Norway in September.

While the Arsenal captain could not help his side pick up a result against Inter, as he came on in the final stages of the game, he will be aiming to get the Gunners’ form back on track this weekend.

After losing to both Newcastle United in the Premier League and Inter in the Champions League, Arsenal travel to London rivals Chelsea for a huge Prem clash on Sunday.
