William Saliba has hailed Martin Ødegaard after the Arsenal captain returned from injury, with the Frenchman labelling him as “one of the best players in the world.”
Ødegaard made his long-awaited return from an ankle injury as a late substitute in the UEFA Champions League against Inter, and has since made three consecutive starts for the Gunners, and his performances have not failed to live up to the lofty expectations placed on him.
Most recently, during Arsenal’s emphatic 5-1 win over Sporting CP in the Champions League, Ødegaard put in an exemplary performance – demonstrating creativity of the highest level, despite not lodging an official assist.
