We are delighted to announce that Martin Odegaard has been named our new men’s first-team captain.
The 23-year-old has made a huge impact since arriving at Emirates Stadium from Real Madrid in January 2021, initially on loan, and has gone on to play 60 times, scoring nine goals.
Odegaard has experience of wearing the armband, having been Norway captain since March 2021, whom he has won 43 caps for.
We wish Martin every success as our captain.
We will have more on the appointment here after today's match.
