Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard 'is approaching Kevin De Bruyne levels', claims Ian Ladyman on 'It's All Kicking Off!'… and believes he should be in the running for Player of the Year

Arsenal star Martin Odegaard is 'approaching Kevin De Bruyne' levels after his inspiring performances in his side's title run-in, claims Ian Ladyman.

The Norwegian international has been a major catalyst in Arsenal's success this year and was the Man of the Match during their recent 5-0 victory over rivals Chelsea.

Odegaard, who wears the captain's armband for the Gunners, picked up two assists on the night - including one sensational, swerving pass for Kai Havertz.

Given the playmaker's impressive form, it's lead to suggestions that he could be nominated for PFA Player of the Year at the end of the season - which Ladyman agreed with.
