This player might replace Martin Odegaard, Arteta says as price is set for midfield starlet

Odegaard pressure


Pundit Rio Ferdinand expects the Arsenal armband to impact Martin Odegaard during the coming season. The Norwegian has taken over as the Gunners’ official captain, after responsibilities were briefly handed to Alexandre Lacazette following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s exit last season.


Lacazette has since rejoined Lyon on a free transfer, taking over as skipper for the Ligue 1 side. That means Arsenal were able to appoint a new full-time captain, and Odegaard is the man who has been chosen after an impressive first full season in north London.


“Yep! [The captain’s armband weighs] heavy!” Ferdinand said on his Vibe with Five YouTube channel. “I said that in the group chat. It could be a different Odegaard this year.”

  Man Utd chief John Murtough’s view on reviving Adrien Rabiot transfer and signing Casemiro. Man Utd chief John Murtough’s view on reviving Adrien Rabiot transfer and signing Casemiro Man Utd chief John Murtough’s view on reviving Adrien Rabiot’s transfer and signing Casemiro After losing to Brentford, ten Hag criticizes Man United as being “naive.” The notion of bringing in Casemiro and Adrien Rabiot as a midfield tandem this summer has been shelved by Manchester United’s recruitment boss John Murtough. Negotiations for the former fell through due to pay demands, and a swoop for the latter is allegedly being pursued in its place because the chances of a double deal seem remote. Rabiot, whose contract expires in a year, was quickly agreed upon by United and Juventus for a £15 million cost. The agreement is thought to have fallen through, though, after Murtaugh traveled to Italy and met with the Frenchman’s agent and mother, Veronique, a very shrewd negotiator. According to rumors,...
