That has proved to be an incredible decision, and Odegaard is one of the best bargains in the Premier League right now. He is simply brilliant and even Pep Guardiola raved about him yesterday.
Odegaard has signed a new five-year contract at Arsenal, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2028. That is amazing news for everyone in and around the Emirates, and the reaction of his teammates on Instagram shows just how happy they are for him.
William Saliba replied to his post by saying “My Boyyyy”, while Bukayo Saka posted four heart eyes emojis.

Leandro Trossard replied: “Congratulations my captain!”
If Arsenal needed a boost ahead of the North London Derby against Tottenham tomorrow, here it is!
Odegaard is arguably Arsenal’s best player. The Norwegian controls almost everything that the Gunners do in the final third, and he rarely ever gets it wrong.
Mikel Arteta will want him to be at his best tomorrow
When Ange Postecoglou’s high-flying Tottenham Hotspur side come to the Emirates for the first North London derby of the season.
