The defeat sa🎃w Scotland qualify for next year’s tournament and Norway will now have to gain a spot in the playoffs.

But former Liverpool midfi🦩elder Charlie Adam believes Norway ha𝄹ve two world-class players in their squad, with one of them being Odegaard.

Adam says Odegaard is ‘world-class’

Speaking on BBC Radio ♏5 Live, Adam discussed Scotland qualifying for the Euros ahead of Norway.

“You’d say about Norway, I’m saying they’ve got two world-class players in [Erling] Haaland and Odegaard,” the Sco♓tsman said.

“They’re 41st in the world, we🅰’re 31st in the world. So, we’d st✨ill be expected to beat Norway.

He added: “Are we the second-best team in the group? Yeah, they’ve got two exception🔴al players but we’ve got a gro𒈔up of players who are very good together.”

Odegaard has🉐 proven over the past couple of🍃 years that he’s amongst the world’s best in terms of creative midfielders.

He was one of th🧸e best midfielders in the Premier League last season and was unfortunate to miss out on the title.

Arsenal boast a wealth of talentedꦕ players but it could be argued that Odegaard, alongside Bukayo Saka, are the two t༺ruly world-class talents in the squad.
