“He’s too good to be playing for a small club like Arsenal, I’ve never seen a player with his type of confidence level, he should come to Man City and win trophies”- Pep Guardiola is full of praise for Arsenal’s stunning superstar- Not Saka, Not Trossard, and Not Declan Rice
Gary Neville believes that Arsenal playmaker Martin Odegaard would be an excellent signing for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
The Sky Sports expert claims that Arsenal attacking midfielder Martin Odegaard is so good that Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola would recruit him if given the opportunity.
The former Manchester United defender made the comments about Odegaard after watching him play for Arsenal against Everton.
Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard is good enough for Manchester City.
Arsenal defeated the Toffees 1-0 away from home at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday.
Neville remarked on his podcast: “Odegaard, I am not saying he is as brilliant as David Silva or Kevin De Bruyne; I think he has a long way to go in his career, but he is coming to a point now where I watch him play, it is so smooth, it is so silky.
“I knew he was always a brilliant player, but we’re now talking about something much more than just that. This is real class.”
The Sky Sports commentator went on to say, “If you said take one player out of this Arsenal team, I think Pep Guardiola would take him in an absolute heartbeat.”
Martin Odegaard is remaining at Arsenal.
In our opinion, Arsenal fans should not be concerned about losing Martin Odegaard anytime soon.
According to 90min, Arsenal and the 24-year-old former Real Madrid midfielder are close to agreeing on a new contract.
Odegaard struggled at Madrid, but he is thriving under Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.
The Norwegian international is one of the Premier League’s greatest playmakers.
And he is only 24.
