Odegaard looking to gel with Jesus

New skipper Martin Odegaard believes that it is vital that he and Gabriel Jesus continue to improve their understanding on the pitch to ensure we enjoy a successful campaign.

The Norwegian playmaker revealed his short-term aim in his first captain's notes for the official programme ahead of this weekend's game against Leicester City, as the ever-popular feature is back by popular demand to shed light on the views inside our dressing room.

And Odegaard didn't disappoint, highlighting his quest for perfection by suggesting he's still annoyed with himself for spurning the opportunity for a shot when played in by Jesus against Crystal Palace last week, and indicating his keenness to develop a fruitful partnership with the Brazilian striker.
