He is a very strong figure as a leader and that's whatwe need right now. We can't afford to lose such important player when we are in squad building process. So Odegaard's contract extension was obvious from Arsenal's point of view. He is the crucial squad member right now if Arsenal wants to have a good future ahead. I am glad that Arsenal secured Odegaard as without him there wouldn't be a strong player who can lead as well like Odegaard inside the squad.
I rarely discuss the captain of the young Gunners squad, even though he is one of Arteta's key players in his squad. referring to what Romano reported, Odegaard has signed a new contract until June 2028. This is currently Odegaard's fourth season at Arsenal since joining on loan from Real Madrid in June 2021. However, it didn't take him too long to settle in and become Arteta's mainstay player.
Last season was the peak with the Arsenal team finishing runners-up in the Premier League, even though they actually had the chance to win the trophy and ultimately failed. This season, their target is the Premier League trophy and Odegaard is an important player in Mikel Arteta's squad.
IMO, Odegaard has an incredibly positive influence on his squad and that's why he carries the captain's armband. on the pitch, he is a young player of the highest quality who consistently contributes at a high level. So, it is only natural that Arsenal wants a contract extension with this player from Norway. As you said, as an Arsenal supporter I am happy that Arsenal has retained Odegaard in the Gunners squad.
