Martin Odegaard still 'feels HURT' by Arsenal's failure to win the Premier League - and 'sour feeling' meant he avoided watching Norway team-mate Erling Haaland's wild title celebrations

Norway captain Martin Odegaard admits he’s still nursing the hurt of Arsenal’s English Premier League title miss as he prepares to face Scotland on Saturday.

Odegaard was in outstanding form for his club last season, yet ended it without a medal after Mikel Arteta’s side were overhauled by Manchester City.

The 24-year-old midfield playmaker is now hoping to sign off for the summer on a positive note by reviving Norway’s hopes of qualification for Euro 2024.

Odegaard’s disappointment at Arsenal’s late-season decline meant he steered clear of watching team-mate Erling Haaland celebrate City’s Treble triumph.
