Martin Odegaard Compilation Vs West Ham Shows Why Arsenal Need To Sign Him Permanently

Martin Odegaard produced a dazzling performance for Arsenal against West Ham as Gunners fans are urging the club to make his move permanent.

Jesse Lingard fired the Hammers into the lead at the London Stadium on Sunday with a sensational strike in the 15th minute.

Goals from Jarrod Bowen and Tomas Soucek put David Moyes' men 3-0 up by the 32nd minute as Arsenal were placed under pressure.

However, the Gunners managed to stage a comeback and rescued a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw.

Odegaard, who was signed on loan from Real Madrid, caught fans' attention as he exhibited his brilliant passing, vision and attacking threat.

One fan has now compiled the 22-year-old Norwegian star's performance into a compilation, with Gunners supporters calling on his loan deal to be made permanent.

"Man of the match performance! Even without any G/A," one fan tweeted.

While another Twitter user added: "Exposed [Declan] Rice and Soucek so many times with quick and clever balls down the middle. Then changes and dragged in the full-back, then played in [Calum] Chambers. MoM, in my opinion."

A third posted: "Technical security! Need more of that at Arsenal."

And a fourth fan added: "His reverse passes are a thing of beauty."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta praised Odegaard by saying that the Madrid loanee is "now giving us a different level on certain things that we didn't have."

Speaking after the 3-3 draw, the 38-year-old Spaniard told Arsenal's official website: "I think he had an incredible performance, he was very intelligent the way he read the game, the way he affected the game and again he showed how much he wants to win.

"When everyone was a little bit trembling, he gave us that composure on the ball and he created chance after chance.

"I love talented and creative players that all the time are willing to take that ball and make things happen, that are mobile and also hardworking. He is one of them.

"We have some others with different qualities, but it's true that Martin is now giving us a different level on certain things that we didn't have."
