When Arsenal bought Norwegian midfielder Martin Odegaard for £30m in 2021 the expectation among supporters wasn’t particularly high - and some didn’t understand why the club wanted to buy him.
After all this was a player who as a teenager was dubbed the “heir to Messi’s throne”.

Mark Chapman is joined by Amy Lawrence and Michael Cox to discuss the Arsenal captain in detail
