Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has paid tribute to Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard.
Ferdinand said Odegaard looks like the club’s former playmaker, Mesut Ozil, at his best, adding that the Norwegian plays like the Italian musician Mozart.
Odegaard has been in great form for Arsenal so far this season.
The former Real Madrid star is one of the main reasons behind leading Arsenal to the Premier League title race.
Odegaard needs a special mention. this person. I told him when he got the armband. This can happen two ways – he’ll have his weight on his shoulders, or he’ll just run with it. Ferdinand said on his Vibe with Five podcast.
He added, “He’s playing like Mozart, right now. He’s rolling the ball through people’s legs. He looks like the reincarnation of Ozil at his best. I’ve been looking at him and I think he’s been a child star for a very long time. You can tell he looks very comfortable in his body.” And now he’s growing into a really good Arsenal captain.”
