Martin Odegaard has made a huge commitment to Arsenal by signing a long-term contract, and his teammate Bukayo Saka couldn't be happier for him.
"He's really important, not just as a player, but as a leader as well," Saka said. "He leads in a different way but I love it and respect it. We all know he's got unbelievable quality, creating goals and scoring goals and being the captain that we all love. I don't mind being stuck with him! I'm happy for him and he deserves the new contract."
Odegaard is also delighted with his decision, as he now finally has a place to call home after moving around different clubs since he was 16.
"Signing a new contract was a really easy decision for me for lots of reasons," Odegaard said. "Mainly, what we are doing right now as a club is special, and I want to be a part of that. I'm really excited for what's to come here. I've found a place where I can be really settled and call my home.
"I just want to say thanks to everyone working at the club and of course, our fantastic supporters. I will continue to give everything to bring success to this club in the years to come."
The Norwegian midfielder has become the club's highest earner, surpassing England international Bukayo Saka, and he joins a list of players that have committed their future to Arsenal, such as William Saliba, Gabriel Martinelli, and Aaron Ramsdale.
With the signing of Odegaard, Arsenal have secured the long-term future of a player that brings a lot of quality to the team, and the fans are looking forward to seeing what he can do in the coming years.
