Martin Odegaard says it’s ‘obvious’ that one Arsenal youngster ‘will be unbelievable’

Martin Odegaard knows exactly what it feels like to be Max Dowman. The Arsenal captain burst onto the scene in Norway at Stromsgodset at 15 years old before joining Real Madrid at 16, where he became their youngest ever league debutant when he replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in May 2015.

Naturally, there was a huge weight of expectation on him that followed. The hype, the pressure, and the constant comparisons — Odegaard lived through all of it before eventually finding his home at Arsenal and becoming one of the best players in the world.

That positions him as the perfect mentor for Max Dowman , who obviously also broke through at a similar age, albeit in the biggest and most-watched league in the world.
