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.

“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.”
