I am happy with Odegaard - Mikel Arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has admitted he is happy with on-loan Real Madrid man Martin Odegaard who is showing his quality each week at the club.

Mikel Arteta believes Odegaard is really a quality player and that is one of the reasons he was brought to the club and that Arsenal will benefit from his talent.

Speaking ahead of Thursday Europa League against Olympiacos Areta revealed how happy he is with the 22-year-old.

‘I’m really happy with him,’ Arteta said during a press conference.

‘I think he has settled really, really quickly within the team, with what we demand of the players.

‘His behaviour, his attitude, his workrate has been phenomenal.

‘He has had better moments than others during games to give us the special qualities he has.

‘But overall I am really happy with him.’
