Martin Odegaard has been a transformative figure for Arsenal since joining the club in 2021. The Norwegian midfielder, who arrived after a difficult spell at Real Madrid, has become an indispensable player for the Gunners, showcasing not only his technical ability but also his leadership qualities.

Odegaard’s journey at Arsenal quickly evolved from being a promising playmaker to a cornerstone of the team. Within a year of his arrival, he was entrusted with the captain’s armband, a testament to his influence on and off the pitch. Since taking on the captaincy Odegaard has led the team with distinction. Should he captain Arsenal against Fulham this weekend, it will mark his 100th match as the team’s leader.

This win percentage surpasses that of legendary Arsenal captains like Patrick Vieira, Tony Adams, and Thierry Henry, provided a minimum of 20 matches as captain is considered. Such statistics highlight Odegaard’s unique ability to inspire and lead his teammates effectively.

His growth since his days at Real Madrid underscores Arsenal’s ability to identify and nurture talent, turning his career around and making him central to their ambitions.
