Gary Neville recently expressed his admiration for Arsenal’s playmaker, Martin Odegaard, suggesting that he would be a valuable addition to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team. Following Odegaard’s standout performance against Everton, Neville highlighted the Norwegian’s exceptional skills on the pitch, drawing comparisons to renowned players like David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne for his smooth and elegant style of play.
As a former Manchester United defender turned Sky Sports pundit, Neville not only praised Odegaard’s current level of performance but also emphasized his potential for further development in his career. He went on to speculate that if Guardiola were to pick a player from Arsenal’s roster, Odegaard would be his immediate choice without hesitation.
Despite ongoing speculation about Odegaard’s potential transfer, recent reports indicate that Arsenal is in positive talks for a new contract with the 24-year-old midfielder, signaling a commitment to retaining him at the club. This development comes as a relief to Arsenal fans who have witnessed Odegaard’s remarkable journey from struggling at Real Madrid to thriving under the guidance of Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta.
At just 24 years old, Odegaard has already established himself as one of the Premier League’s top playmakers, showcasing his immense potential for further growth and success. His adaptability and skill set have been evident on the pitch, earning him praise from pundits like Neville and fueling optimism for his future at Arsenal.
