‘He’s really picking up’… Tim Sherwood says £30m Arsenal player is getting better every single week

Arsenal are starting to look like a scary proposition in this title race.

The Gunners have thrashed West Ham, Burnley and Newcastle in their last three games, and they’re really starting to click now.

The north London club are purring to say the least, and their star players are beginning to show their best form.

Bukayo Saka has been amongst the goals as of late, Declan Rice has been as imperious as ever, and Martin Odegaard is also getting back to his best.

Speaking on , Tim Sherwood has been discussing Odegaard’s recent uptick in form, and he says that the Norwegian has had a lull period a few weeks ago, but he’s really picking up form now.

Martin Odegaard is improving

Sherwood spoke about the man.

“I don’t think anyone in the Premier League is playing as well as Arsenal at the moment, Martinelli is back to his best, Odegaard had a little lull period but he’s really picking up performances, Saka has been unbelievable, Jorginho has come into the side and has pushed Rice on who has looked better in the number eight position, he’s been outstanding, it’s all going well for them at the moment,” Sherwood said.

No coincidence

It’s no coincidence that Arsenal’s results have improved massively just as Odegaard has found his best form.

The Norwegian is the beating heart of this Arsenal team, and when he plays well, so do his teammates.

The midfielder is so important to everything Arsenal do going forwards, and when he’s on his game, the rest of the team benefit from it.

Odegaard isn’t just a top player, he’s a real leader, and the whole team will follow his example when he’s playing the way he has been over the past few weeks.
