“I’m very happy for him, the way he takes responsibility for the team shows that he’s a true leader.”

Mikel Arteta is slowly introducing Odegaard into the typically hard-hitting, fast-paced Premier League, and the youngster says his first few weeks have been a joy.

“It’s a bit different [the Premier League] but I think I am adapting pretty okay,” Odegaard said.

“The way they took me into the team – my team-mates – and how they treated me, as well as the manager and everyone in the club, they helped me since the first minute.

“I feel really comfortable and a part of the team, so it’s been easy to come in to this team because of the way they are and the way they treated me.

“I’m just really happy to be here and I’m proud to be a part of this team.”
