Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, has received glowing praise from former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.
Odegaard is playing like Italian musician Mozart, according to Ferdinand, who also said that the Norwegian player resembles the club's former playmaker Mesut Ozil at his best.
This season, Odegaard has been in outstanding form for Arsenal.
One of the primary factors in the Gunners' lead in the Premier League title chase is the former Real Madrid player.
“Odegaard needs a special mention. This guy. I said when he was given the armband. This can go either two ways – it weighs too heavy on his shoulders, or he is going to run with it. And he is running with it,” Ferdinand said on his Vibe with Five podcast.
He added, “He is playing like Mozart, at the moment. He is rolling the ball through people’s legs. He looks like a reincarnation of Ozil at his best. I have been looking at him and thinking he has been a child star for a very long time. You can tell he seems very comfortable in his skin and now he is growing into the Arsenal captaincy role really well.”
