I have played against Elite Midfielders like Ciacedo and Rodri before but the truth must be told,none can be compared to this guy, He’s probably the best Midfielder I have ever seen”, Alexis Mac Allister named ONE Arsenal player as the best Midfielder in the world over Rodri – Not Rice and not Thomas Partey

In a press conference that’s already catching headlines across Europe, Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister made a bold and unexpected claim about one of Arsenal’s midfield stars — and it wasn’t Declan Rice or Thomas Partey.

Speaking about the toughest midfield opponents he’s faced in his career so far, Mac Allister name-dropped some of the game’s biggest names but insisted that none come close to this particular Arsenal player.

> “I have played against elite midfielders like Caicedo and Rodri before, but the truth must be told — none can be compared to this guy. He’s probably the best midfielder I have ever seen,” Mac Allister admitted.

The player he was referring to? Martin Ødegaard.

Mac Allister heaped praise on the Arsenal captain for his intelligence, movement, and creative ability in midfield, describing him as a player who controls games effortlessly and makes everything around him look easy.

> “Ødegaard’s vision, decision-making, and calmness under pressure are unreal. The way he picks out passes that nobody else can see — it’s like he’s playing a different game. I’ve never seen a midfielder so composed and effective in every area of the pitch,” Mac Allister added.

Since taking the armband at Arsenal, Ødegaard has evolved into one of the Premier League’s standout midfielders, playing a pivotal role in Mikel Arteta’s title-challenging squad. His ability to link play, unlock defences, and contribute goals has made him a fan favourite and a nightmare for opposition midfielders and defenders alike.

Mac Allister’s praise only reinforces what Arsenal fans have known for some time — that Martin Ødegaard isn’t just one of the best in England, but one of the best in world football right now.

With this kind of recognition coming from fellow top-level professionals, Ødegaard’s stock continues to rise as Arsenal push for domestic and European success.
