Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender, Bacary Sagna in a recent statement spoke highly of the Gunners’ midfielder, Martin Odegaard.

Sagna lauded Odegaard’s style, adding that he sees similarities between him and former Arsenal player, Mesut Ozil.

Odegaard has played a key role in Mikel Arteta’s squad this season, scoring nine goals and creating eight assists.

Speaking to Paddy Power, Sagna said the Norwegian plays with passion and is technically gifted, which is a reminder of Ozil’s playing style.

Sagna pointed out Odegaard’s intelligence on the ball and his ability to anticipate the movements of his teammates.

“I love Martin Odegaard and the way he plays. He plays with passion and technically, he is very good and smart on the ball,” Sagna told Paddy Power (via The Mirror).

“He reminds me of Mesut Ozil with the left foot and the way they turn players and anticipate the runs of their teammates. He is very clever because whenever he dribbles, he looks at the body shape of every player and tries to get away from trouble when he is under pressure.”
