When Martin Odegaard was handed the Arsenal captaincy, some questioned whether the quietly spoken Norwegian had the personality for it. Two seasons later, the answer is definitive: he is one of the finest captains in European football. Odegaard leads differently to the traditional archetype. He does not bawl at teammates or pump fists every five minutes. He leads through performance — constantly available, constantly demanding of the ball, constantly finding solutions when the system is under pressure. His pressing intensity sets the tone for the entire team. His positioning unlocks defences. His calmness in big moments has spread through the squad like a contagion. ⚡ Arsenal's Treble bid has Odegaard's fingerprints all over it. The best captain in England right now. It is not even close.
