Odegaard can be one of the world's best - Arteta
The Norwegian star will play for Arsenal until the end of the season.
boss Mikel Arteta believes Martin Odegaard has the potential to become one of the best players in the world.
The 22-year-old midfielder joined the Gunners on loan from Real Madrid and has been recognized as one of the most talented players in the world since the age of 15.
The Norwegian star chose Real Madrid and played on loan for Heerenveen and Real Sociedad. He had no place in Zidane's team and was forced to leave Madrid. Now Arteta has praised the Norwegian star, calling him a talent for becoming one of the best in the world.
He said:
"Well, he’s got the potential [to be one of the best]. I followed him very closely when he was at Real Sociedad and he was really impressive over there for long periods," the coach said at a press conference.
"He had a really successful season over there and that’s one of the reasons why I was so convinced that he’s a player for us. He’s a player that I really like and, as you say, still has huge potential to become even better."
