Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville had high praise for Arsenal’s captain, Martin Odegaard, after Arsenal’s recent victory over Everton. Arsenal secured their fourth win of the season with a goal from Leandro Trossard.

Neville, analyzing Odegaard’s performance against Everton, suggested that the Norwegian midfielder possesses qualities that would make him an ideal fit for Manchester City under manager Pep Guardiola. Neville commented, “In recent years, we’ve seen some of the most graceful Premier League players like De Bruyne and David Silva. While Odegaard may not yet match their level, he’s playing at an elite level.”

Neville added, “If you asked Guardiola which Arsenal player he’d want, I think he’d enthusiastically pick Odegaard. He’s consistently improving, and Arsenal should recognize the talent they have. By providing him more opportunities in the final third, Arsenal can create more goal-scoring chances.”

Neville’s remarks underscore Odegaard’s growing impact at Arsenal and the admiration he has garnered from football pundits. Arsenal fans will be hoping that Odegaard can continue to shine and contribute to the team’s success.
