Arteta - How Odegaard improves us as a team

Martin Odegaard has made a really positive impact since his arrival on loan from Real Madrid in January - and he scored his first goal in Athens on Thursday night.

It was not only his stunning 25-yard strike that caught the eye, but Alsop the way he knits together the midfield and attack, something Mikel Arteta is delighted to see.

"He helps us to do the processes much better," our manager told Arsenal.com. "He helps us as a team because he gives us a lot of continuity on the ball.

"He's really intelligent to find the spaces, he attracts a lot of opponents.
