Jamie Redknapp names the Arsenal player who was a ‘joy to watch’ in their win over West Ham

Arsenal picked up another big win against West Ham and Jamie Redknapp has admitted to being seriously impressed by one of their players.

The Gunners smas𝔉hed in five goals t♎o give themselves a comfortable win and go second in the Premier League table ahead of Liverpool v Man City.

Bukayo Saka has played down the clash but there will be hope among the Arsenal camp tha༺t Liverpool drop points.

Of course, for Arsenal, they just have to keep winning. And key to them keeping winning are the performances of Martin Odegaard and the aforementioned Saka.

But while Gary Neville lauded Saka for his display, fellow Sky pundit Jamie Redknapp felt that the contribution of Odegaard is what really makeܫs Arsenal tick.

Martin Odegaard praised by Jamie Redknapp as Arsenal beat West Ham

Sp🦩eaking on about the impact of Odegaard, Redknapp was full of praise for the Norwegian and insisted he’s shown everyone recently just how good🤡 he is.

“Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard linked up beautifully at times and they l♊ooked like the side we’ve seen over the last couple of years,” Redknapp said.

“It just shows everybody what Odegaard does for this team, he knits it together. He is the glue in the team. He is an𓃲 𝐆absolute joy to watch and you see how much better they are with him.

“He frees Saka up and gives him that time in one on one situations that you can’t really have unless Odegaar🌳d is playing.”

Odegaard’s impact obvious for Arsenal

It’s no coincidence that since Martin Odegaard came back into t𝔉he team, Arsenal have sprung into life and started ticking again.

Odeg❀aard’s return has coincided with 14 goals for the Gunners in just four games. That sort of♛ contribution just cannot be overlooked.

Now, it’s vital that Odegaard re✃mains fit and firing for Arsenal.

If he doesn’t, then much like Man City with R♊odri, Arsenal’s seaso✨n could falter and in the end, leave them short for a third successive year.
